Radiation Adhered with Conduction Heat Transfer Adopting Finite Volume Method

Abstract

This article considers a radiative transport problem coupled with conduction in the one dimensional slab in the presence of participating media. The finite volume method of computation is presented to discretize the radiative transfer equation over the control volume and by using the error function, conduction term is being computed. In the mathematical derivation the RTE is integrated with respect to control volume and control angles with the freedom in choosing number of angular nodes. The results reveals that the proposed method is a promising alternative to the well-established practices like the discrete ordinates method (DOM), discrete transfer method (DTM), monte-carlo method and many more.
