This graduate textbook is concerned with both the formulation and the solution of radiation heat transfer problems in enclosures. The book is essentially self-contained and includes a brief historical survey. The foundations are carefully discussed from the point of view of the exact mathematical basis of boundary value problems and their variational solutions as well as of the physical foundations. The computational methods developed by the authors are used in engineering applications. The combination of exact mathematical modelling with numerical skills makes this a unique textbook.
During the last half century, the development and testing of
prediction models of combustion chamber performance have been an
ongoing task at the International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF)
in IJmuiden in the Netherlands and at many other research
organizations. This task has brought forth a hierarchy of more or
less standard numerical models for heat transfer predictions, in
particular for the prediction of radiative heat transfer.
Unfortunately all the methods developed, which certainly have a
good physical foundation, are based on a large number of extreme
sim plifications or uncontrolled assumptions. To date, the ever
more stringent requirements for efficient production and use of
energy and heat from com bustion chambers call for prediction
algorithms of higher accuracy and more detailed radiative heat
transfer calculations. The driving forces behind this are advanced
technology requirements, the costs of large-scale experimen tal
work, and the limitation of physical modeling. This interest is
growing more acute and has increased the need for the publication
of a textbook for more accurate treatment of radiative transfer in
enclosures. The writing of a textbook on radiative heat transfer,
however, in ad dition to working regularly on other subjects is a
rather difficult task for which some years of meditation are
necessary. The book must satisfy two requirements which are not
easily reconciled. From the mathematical point of view, it must be
written in accordance with standards of mathemati cal rigor and
precision."
