Circular radiation heat shields with temperature dependent emissivities: transient and steady-state analyses

Radiation heat loss is an important type of heat loss in thermal systems. In this work, a numerical study of the transient response of two circular radiation heat shields inserted between two parallel and circular surfaces of emissivities ε₁ and ε₂ is presented. The same dimensions have been assumed for the two main radiating surfaces and the two radiation shields. The radiation shields are assumed to have different emissivities on their top (ε₃ and ε₅) and bottom ( ε₄ and ε₆) surfaces, and both are assumed to be different but linear functions of temperature. A specific configuration is investigated in detail to highlight the transient temperature and heat transfer characteristics of the system. Some new results for the transient temperature and heat transfer characteristics of the system such as the effect of shield location, shield emissivities, the temperature dependence of shield emissivities, system dimensions, temperatures of the hot and cold surfaces and emissivities of the hot and cold surfaces are presented for future references. It has been observed that increasing the temperature of the first radiation shield by changing a parameter such as surface emissivity or distance between the radiation shield or the temperature of the hot surface, will not necessarily decrease the temperature of the second radiation shield.     

Application of hemisphere radiation shields with temperature-dependent emissivity for reducing heat transfer between two concentric hemispheres

The radiation network method has been applied to calculate the net radiation heat transfer between two concentric hemispheres separated by two hemispherical radiation shields with temperature-dependent surface emissivities. Three different materials are chosen for radiation shields: aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and tungsten. The reduction in heat transfer with shields depends not only on the surface characteristics of the two shields, but also on the locations of the shields. Three illustrative examples are presented to illustrate the effects of temperature dependent emissivities and shield locations on the percentage heat transfer reduction. The analysis can be used to study other cases as warranted.

制冷型红外光学系统温栏杂散辐射分析及消除方法

在致冷型红外光学系统中加入温栏会引入杂散辐射。杂散辐射包括温栏自身的辐射及对外部热光的反射。这两种辐射进入探测器后,会降低系统的信噪比和动态范围,影响成像质量。基于辐射及传热理论,提出温栏杂散辐射所引起噪声等效温差的计算模型,并研究了消除温栏杂散辐射的方法。用LIGHT TOOLS进行了光线追迹,对比分析了传统平面环状温栏和球面反射镜型温栏的杂散辐射,验证了理论推导的正确性和消除方法的可行性。结果表明,采用半径为30.3 mm的高反射率球型温栏代替原设计中的粗糙平面型温栏,控制其曲率半径和位置,可使由温栏引入的杂散辐射降低99%以上。     

A theoretical study of radiation between two concentric spheres using a modified discrete ordinates method associated with Legendre transform

A modified discrete ordinates method (DOM) is used in spherical participating media. The radiative intensity is broken up into two components. One component is traced back to the enclosure's source. It is called direct intensity. The other component is rather traced back to the contribution of the medium itself. It is called diffuse intensity. Thus, the radiative transfer equation (RTE) is transformed into two simultaneous equations: a direct RTE and a diffuse RTE. The direct RTE is solved analytically. The diffuse RTE is solved numerically using the DOM. The streaming angular derivative term appearing in spherical geometry is modeled by making use of the Finite Legendre Transform. We study a pure radiation transfer problem between two concentric spheres. The medium is assumed to be gray and isotropically scattering. The limiting spheres are considered to be opaque, gray, diffusely emitting and diffusely reflecting with uniform emissivity over each surface. The obtained results are compared with available cases reported in the literature. In particular, relative importance of the direct radiation in optically thin media is studied.

The influence of furnace wall emissivity on steel charge heating

Radiation heat transfer is one of the most important heat transfer modes in high-temperature applications. It is a strongly non-linear process, which depends on the temperature and emissivity of heat exchange surfaces, their geometrical configuration and properties of the surrounding atmosphere. Heat exchange intensity between the surfaces depends mainly on their temperature differences. However, their emissivities influence significantly the radiation heat transfer process as well. Emissivity is a function of surface state or atmospheric chemical reactions, temperature and wavelengths. Because of these non-linearities, it is very complicated to evaluate such a real problem by numerical simulation, and experimental work seems to be the most reliable evaluation procedure. We applied special high-temperature coatings of different emissivities on furnace walls to evaluate the dependence between the furnace wall emissivity and steel charge heating. The emissivity analyses of the coatings used and emissivity measurement results in dependence on wavelength are presented in this paper. The dependence of the charge heating on the furnace wall emissivity, the importance of emissivity wavelength dependence and significant differences of the emissivity effect in electrical and gas heated furnaces are shown. The possible consequences and practical benefits are also discussed in this paper.

Simultaneous estimation of the temperature and heat rate distributions within the combustion region by a new inverse radiation analysis

A new inverse radiation analysis is presented for estimating the heat rate and temperature distributions in the combustion region from the information of the temperature and heat flux profiles of wall elements in the system. The Monte Carlo method is employed to solve the radiative heat transfer equation. The inverse radiation problem is posed as a minimization problem of the least squares criterion, which is solved by the conjugate gradient method. The performance of the present technique of inverse analysis is evaluated and the effects of the errors of the absorption coefficient, emissivity and convective heat transfer coefficient on the inverse analysis are investigated. The results show that the present technique is robust and yields accurate estimation even with noisy measurement.

Cold radiation shields for IR detector arrays

Off-set and integral cold shields are compared for cold shield shading effects when used with frontside and backside irradiated IR arrays. The integral cold shield, within its range of application, eliminates cold shield shading for frontside arrays and is more desirable. For backside arrays, off-set cold shield shading can be significantly reduced to tolerable levels when the array is prepared on thick transparent substrates. For these arrays, the integral cold shield is more difficult to implement and thus less desirable than the off-set cold shield.

Spherical warm shield design for infrared imaging systems

The F-number matching is the primary means to suppress stray radiation for infrared imaging systems. However, it is difficult to achieve exact F-number matching, owing to the restriction from detectors, or multiple F-number design. Hence, an additional shield is required to block the certain thermal radiation. Typical shield is called flat warm shield, which is flat and operates at room temperature. For flat warm shield, it cannot suppress stray radiation while achieving F-number matching. To overcome the restriction, a spherical reflective warm shield is required. First of all, the detailed theory of spherical warm shield design is developed on basis of the principle that stray radiation cannot directly reach the infrared focal plane array. According to the theory developed above, a polished spherical warm shield, whose radius is 18 mm, is designed to match an F/2 infrared detector with an F/4 infrared imaging system. Then, the performance and alignment errors of the designed spherical warm shield are analyzed by simulation. Finally, a contrast experiment between the designed spherical warm shield and two differently processed flat warm shields is performed in a chamber with controllable inside temperatures. The experimental results indicate that the designed spherical warm shield cannot only achieve F-number matching but suppress stray radiation sufficiently. Besides, it is demonstrated that the theory of spherical warm shield design developed in this paper is valid and can be employed by arbitrary infrared imaging systems.

Determination of the volumetric heat generation in a furnace chamber from the radiation flux distribution

A thermal model of a furnace chamber involving both a three-dimensional radiation heat transfer equation and an energy equation describing the one-dimensional flow of a combustible mixture is proposed. Convective heat transfer at the walls and shields is taken into account by the approximate standardized method. The model allows one to calculate the temperature and heat flux distributions both in the volume and at the boundaries of the furnace chamber. The problem of finding the specific volumetric heat generation from the radiation fluxes measured at the furnace walls is considered with this model.

Nonlinear radiation analysis in hydrogen plasma

This paper deals with the radiation energy transport within a plasma gas enclosed between two parallel black plates, together with the interaction of radiation and conduction under uniform heat generation. An expression for the radiation heat flux is being obtained in terms of the modified emissivity without resorting to the assumption of linearized radiation previously used. Results for the temperature and radiation heat flux distributions are obtained for various values of heat generation and for different spacings between the plates. The results presented are for hydrogen plasma gas at pressures of 0.43 and 37.5 atm with wall temperatures of 10,000°K. The present results for the centerline temperatures are compared with those utilizing linearized radiation, and it was found that the linearized radiation assumption overestimates the temperature values especially for large heat generations.
