Radiation problem

Sin e-Gas-Zone/Two-Surface-Zone Systems An enclosure consisting of but one isothermal gas zone and two gray surface zones can, properly specified, model so many industrially important radiation problems as to merit detailed presentation. One can evaluate the total radiation flux between any two of the three zones, including multiple reflec tion at all surfaces. 

Occasionally, a laboratory will need an in-line detector of radio-labeled molecules. These detectors take the flow from the column or from an initial detector, mix it with fluorescing compound, and measure the fluorescence due to radioactive breakdown. A different system uses beads in the flow cell with an immobilized fluorescing compound, but these systems suffer from ghosting and cannot be used with very hot labeled compounds because of secondary radiation problems. These systems are very useful with tritiated samples and less so with carbon14 labeled compounds. Some success has been reported with sulfur32 label detection. 

The interaction-energy curves for alkali metal-rare gas pairs are also of interest experimentally in scattering and radiation problems, and theoretically because of the expected reliability of the HF energy for this class of half-open-closed-shell systems. Calculations on LiHe and NaHe (X22+, A2U, if 22+) and their X1 + ions have been reported by Krauss et al.285 from R = 3 to 10 bohr. Both STO and GTO expansion bases were used, with comparable results except for the ASH state of NaHe. The variation of dipole and quadrupole moments with R was investigated. The X2S+ curve is... 

A powerful way of achieving this goal uses the coupled-channels expansion, a method widely used in calculations of scattering cross sections [6]. In the context of quantized matter-radiation problems, the coupled-channels method amounts to expanding E, n, N ) in number states. Concentrating on the expansion in the /th mode, we write E, n, N ) as... 

In radiation problems, It Is the available energy flux which Is of concern, not the available energy density. This means that directional characteristics become more Important and the steady flow available energy, b = h - T0s Is the more appropriate measure of thermodynamic work.

Consider a simple two-body radiation problem with a nonparticipating intervening medium. The radiation equation is... 

From the definition of view factors, it is clear that the sum of the view factors from body 2 is equal to unity, i.e., F2-1 + F2-3 = 1, and also that the sum of the view factors from body 3 is equal to unity, i.e., F3 i + F3 2 = 1. In the three-body radiation problem discussed, it has been assumed that none of the bodies can radiate to itself. Expressed technically, the view factor of body 1 to itself is zero, and this is the case for bodies 2 and 3 also, that is, Fm = F2-2 = F3 3 = 0. 

In long enclosures, the radiation problem essentially reduces to a two-dimensional problem. Under these conditions, a particular useful theorem, Hotter s theorem, applies. This chapter presents many practical examples. 

A simple radiation problem is encountered when we have a heat transfer surface at temperature T, completely enclosed by a much larger surface maintained at T2. We will show in Chap. 8 that the net radiant exchange in this case can be calculated with... 

We shall not present the solution of a complex-gas-radiation problem since the tedious effort required for such a solution is beyond the scope of our present discussion however, it is worthwhile to analyze a two-layer transmitting system in order to indicate the general scheme of reasoning which might be applied to more complex problems. 

The network method which we have used to analyze radiation problems is an effective artifice for visualizing radiant exchange between surfaces. For simple problems which do not involve too many surfaces the network method affords a solution that can be obtained quite easily. When many heat-transfer surfaces are involved, it is to our advantage to formalize the procedure for writing the nodal equations. For this procedure we consider only opaque, gray, diffuse surfaces. The reader should consult Ref. 10 for information on transmitting and specular surfaces. The radiant-energy balance on a particular opaque surface can be written... 

While the above formulations may appear rather cumbersome at first glance they are easily solved by computer, with either matrix inversion or iteration. For many practical radiation problems, the number of equations is small and programmable calculators may be employed for solution. In most cases one will not know the surface properties (e,) within better than a few percent, so an iterative solution need not be carried out to unreasonable limits of precision. 

This example illustrates how it is possible to handle convection-radiation problems with the numerical formulation and an iterative computational procedure. Nomenclature is shown in the figure. Using Figs. 8-12 and 8-14, we can evaluate the shape factors as... 

The determination of the distribution of the LVRPA requires the use of some type of radiative transfer model. In the case of transparent pollutants, it can be considered that Cl depends on Ti02 concentration (Qatai) only, and not on the concentration of the pollutant, since it is the former component which absorbs and scatters radiation. This allows imcoupling the radiation problem from the degradation kinetics when Equation (13) is solved that is, one can first evaluate and then, independently of the value of the pollutant concentration, integrate F2(Cl) over the reactor volume. Once this quantity has been calculated, its numerical value is taken as a constant in Equation (13), which can now be solved to obtain the evolution of Cp av... 

Other authors have also used approximate methods to solve the radiation problem. Li Puma and Yue (2003) used a thin film slurry model which does not include scattering effects. More recently, Li Puma et al. (2004), Brucato et al. (2006), and Li Puma and Brucato (2007) have used six flux models for different geometries. Salaices et al. (2001, 2002) used a model which allows for an adequate evaluation of the absorbed radiation in terms of macroscopic balances, based on radiometric measurements. They measured separately total transmitted radiation and nonscattered transmitted radiation, modeling the decay of both radiative fluxes with concentration by exponential fimctions.

In Chapter 12, we considered the fundamental aspects of radiation and the radiation properties of surfaces. We are now in a position to consider radiation exchange between two or more surfaces, which is the primary quantity of interest in most radiation problems. 

In Ihe radiation analysis of an enclosure, either the temperature or the net rate of heat transfer must be given for each of the surfaces to obtain a unique solution for the unknown surface temperatures and heal transfer rales. There are two methods commonly used to solve radiation problems. In the first method, Eqs. 13 32 (for surfaces with specified heat transfer rales) and 13-33 (for surfaces with specified temperatures) are simplified and rearranged as... 

The netwoikmelhod was first introduced by A. K. Oppenheim in the 1950s and found widespread acceptance because of its simplicity and emphasis on the physics of the problem. The application of Ihe method i.s straightforward draw a surface resistance associated with each surface of an enclosure and connect them with space resistances. Then solve the radiation problem by treating it as an electrical network problem where llie radiation heal transfer replaces the current and radiosity replaces Ihe potential. 

I he network method is not practical for enclosures with more than three or four surfaces, however, because of the increased complexity of the network. Next we apply the method lo solve radiation problems in two- and three-surface enclosures. 

The detection of the fluorescence radiation differs in resonant and in non-resonant AFS. In the first case, the radiation is measured in a direction perpendicular to that of the incident exciting radiation. However the system will suffer from stray radiation and emission of the flame. The latter can be eliminated by using pulsed primary sources and phase-sensitive detection. In the case of non-resonant fluorescence, stray radiation problems are not encountered, although the fluorescence intensities are lower, which necessitates the use of lasers as primary sources and spectral apparatus that will isolate the fluorescence radiation. A set-up for laser excited AFS (Fig. 126) may make use of a pulsed dye laser pumped by an excimer laser. The selection of the excitation line is then done by the choice of the dye and... 

ISPD. Blooming problems are very small and similar to those discussed for the SPD (see below), i.e., blooming is limited to charge overspill to adjacent diodes only, once the capacitance level (approximately 8 x 10 electrons) is exceeded. Stray energy radiation problems have been previously discussed. 

Let us examine a radiation problem involving a perfect electric conducting (PEC) sphere of radius rs centered in a free and lossless space. The structure is excited by an electric dipole source at (0, 0, z = Zo > rs) and is polarized along the z-direction. Its temporal profile is given by the smooth function of... 

Another way out of the forward converter outer surface radiation problem is to ask production to reverse the direction of the secondary winding (only). So for example, if up to the finish of the primary winding, the machine was spinning clockwise, for the secondary we should specify an anticlockwise direction (with expected resistance coming, not from the transformer, but our production staff ). If we do that, the... 

With the evaluation of the view factor, in addition to the concepts of radiosity, solid angle, intensity, and emissive power (the last three from Chapter 8), we complete the concepts needed for enclosure radiation problems. Now we proceed to the solution methods for these problems electrical analogy and net radiation. 

Having learned the method of electrical analogy and its application to a number of examples, we proceed now to the second method, the method of net radiation, for enclosure radiation problems.
