ABSTRACT

The problem of radiation heat transfer in furnaces and combustors is of real practical importance. The correct estimation of the radiative heat fluxes at the walls of these furnaces requires appropriate treatment of the properties of the participating medium like absorption and scattering, along with a handle on high temperature gradients. The problem is further complicated by the spectral dependence of these properties. This is usually overcome by the use of band models. The present study aims to apply the full spectrum Spectral Line based Weighted sum of gray gases (SLW) (Denison and Webb, 1993) model to body fitted axisymmetric geometries like truncated cone type enclosures which resemble to gradually expanding diffusers, rocket exhaust nozzles and typical industrial combustors that find wide engineering use. A modification of the discrete ordinates method known as MDOM (Baek and Kim, 1997), has been employed to solve the radiative transfer equation. A mixture of three gases (viz. CO2, H2O and CO) has been considered and its spectral behaviour is modelled using SLW band model. Different particle loadings are incorporated and anisotropic scattering is modelled using transport approximation (Dombrovsky, 2012). A general purpose code SLDOM (Discrete Ordinates Method with SLW model) has been developed to handle these complexities of the problem. After a rigorous validation, a detailed analysis of the radiative heat fluxes at the curved wall is made under the influence of variable and particle concentrations. Finally, the methodology is applied and its behaviour is monitored in cases that involve high temperature gradient fields, such as in furnaces and combustors.
