Two approximate methods are presented for making radiant heat-transfer computations from gray, isothermal dispersions which absorb, emit, and scatter isotropically. The integrodifferential equation of radiant transfer is solved using moment techniques to obtain a first-order solution. A second-order solution is found by iteration. The approximate solutions are compared to exact solutions found in the literature of astrophysics for the case of a plane-parallel geometry. The exact and approximate solutions are both expressed in terms of directional and hemispherical emissivities at a boundary. The comparison for a slab, which is neither optically thin nor thick (τ = 1), indicates that the second-order solution is accurate to within 10 percent for both directional and hemispherical properties. These results suggest that relatively simple techniques may be used to make design computations for more complex geometries and boundary conditions.

A multidimensional theoretical model of radiation heat transfer in the cylinder of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine has been developed, which includes submodels of heat release, geometrical description, radiation temperature, soot formation and oxidation, the absorption coefficient and the Monte Carlo method for total exchange areas. In this code, the cylinder is divided into 10 surface zones and four gas zones. The Monte Carlo method integrated with a smoothing technique considering reciprocity and conservation is used to calculate the radiation total exchange areas directly for both the absorbing—emitting media and the complex structure of the cylinder. Using the multi—dimensional approach, the variation in radiant heat transfer with crank angle can be obtained across the whole combustion chamber. The computed results are analysed and discussed in the present study, and they are found to be in agreement with the experimental results.
