ANALYSIS OF TWO-PHASE RADIATION IN THERMALLY DEVELOPING POISEUILLE FLOW

Pages 489-510 | Published online: 29 Oct 2010
 

Abstract

Combined conductive and radiative heat transfer in a thermally developing two-phase Poiseuille flow in a cylindrical duct is studied here. A two-phase radiative transfer equation (RTE) considering radiation by both gas and particles is taken into account. A complexform of nonlinear integrodifferential RTE is solved by the discrete ordinates method (DOM, or so called SN method) in axisymmetric geometry. After such validation, namely, the solution in a two-dimensional channel flow between two flat plates is compared with that solved by the zone method, the program is then applied to fully developed gas-particle two-phase flow in a cylindrical duct. A parametric study is performed for gas and particle absorption coefficients, particle number density, particle emissivity, and wall emissivity. The results show a significant effect of two-phase radiation on the thermal characteristics. However, in all cases, it was found that conduction is predominant near the wall.
