Reconstruction of Temperature Field in 3-D, Absorbing, Emitting, and Anisotropically Scattering Medium

IntroductionRecently ,theinvestigation on numerical radiative heattransfer has been focused onthe reconstruction of temperatureprofile in target space according to its boundary heat fluxgained by detectors1 8], whichis a kind of inverse problemofradiation. Among these investigation, Li HY1 4]hasresearched on one-di mension or two-di mension rectangular ,spherical or cylindrical medium which is absorbing ,emitting , and isotropically scattering ; Liu LH5,6]hasresearched on the semitranspar…

Reconstruction of Temperature Field in 3-D, Absorbing, Emitting,and Anisotropically Scattering Medium

The soft measurement technology of flame temperature field is an efficient method to learn the combustion status in furnace. Generally, it reconstructs the temperature field in furnace through the image of flame, which is a process to solve radiative inverse problem. In this paper, the flame of pulverized coal is considered as 3-D, absorbing, emitting,and anisotropically scattering non-gray medium. Through the study on inverse problem of radiative heat transfer, the temperature field in this kind of medium has been reconstructed. The mechanism of 3-D radiative heat transfer in a rectangular media, which is 2 m × 3 m × 5 m and full of CO2, N2 and carbon particles, is studied with Monte Carlo method. The 3-D temperature field in this rectangular space is reconstructed and the influence of particles density profile is discussed.
