RADIATION THEORY

Heat exchange

Conduction Molecular energy transport through a solid or a fluid in quiet

Convection Energy exchange between a solid and a fluid in motion

Radiation Transport of energy by means of electromagnetic radiation




9

Every form of matter with a temperature (T) above absolute zero emits radiation according to its temperature. This is called characteristic radiation. The cause of this is the internal mechanical movement of molecules. Since the molecule movement represents charge displacement, electromagnetic radiation (photon particles) is emitted. These photons move at the speed of light and behave according to the known optical principles.

The energy emitted depends on the temperature, the wavelength and the characteristics of the material.

The transmission of energy does not need a medium but it is transmitted also in vacuum




10

The bodies can exchange heat

through electromagnetic

radiation.

It is the only form of energy

exchange that can take place

in a vacuum.




11

The emission from an opaque solid or

by a liquid is a surface phenomenon.

For a solid opaque and a liquid, the

emission is originated by a layer

surface material with a thickness

about 1 micron

The emission of radiation by a gas or

a solid semi-transparent It is of the

volumetric type




12

The theory is based on four well-known radiation

laws :

1. Planck’s law of radiation of ideal black body,

2. the Stefan–Boltzmann law.

3. the law about the relation between

emission and absorption found by Kirchhoff

3. Wien displacement law




13

Many bodies, however, emit less radiation atthe same temperature. The relation betweenthe real emissive power and that of ablackbody is known as emissivity and can be amaximum of 1 (body corresponds to the idealblackbody) and a minimum of 0. Bodies withemissivity less than 1 are called gray bodies.Bodies where emissivity is also dependent onwavelength are called non-gray bodies. Theemissivity coefficient e is non-dimensional;it depends on the wavelength, on thetemperature and the surface texture of thebody.




14

The radiation incident on each body can be absorbed, reflected or

trasmitted

The relation between emission and absorption was found by Kirchhoff

Therefore for an opaque body ()




15

The emissivity coefficient is generally determined experimentally

16

the wavelength dependence of emissivity

The wavelength dependence of reflectivity




18

The previous discussion is

not applicable to gases that

are non-gray body. Most

combustion processes result

in the formation of carbon

dioxide, water vapor and

carbon monoxide; thus a

knowledge of their spectra is

likely to be directly applicable

to the prediction of the

radiation from a burner. The

spectral radiance in an

emission band cannot

exceed the spectral radiance

of a blackbody at the same

wavelength and temperature

RADIATION MODELLING




20

One would expect fromKirchoff’s law that goodemitters are good absorbersand that non emission bandresults: but in a flame theemission band is broader thanthe corresponding absorptionband and it is shifted towardlonger wavelength by the highertemperature and pressure inthe flame

21

we can simulate for a solid opaque body the total emitted energy equal to

• in case of a gray body by using the Stefan–Boltzmann law with the multiplication factor (emissivity)

in case of a non-gray body by using an average multiplication factor

(emissivity) in selected bands for selective body




22

The magnitude of the thermal power q [W] exchanged by radiation between two or more bodies depends on the orientation of the reciprocal surfaces, by their radiative properties and from their temperatures. it is necessary to introduce the concept of view factor to calculate q

The view factor between the surface area i and a j is the fraction of energyissued by the i that directly affects j.

The view factor is a purely geometric size and depends only on the mutual position of the surfaces.




23

The view factor

In case of a gas mixture by using a total emissivity for each gas that simulates the behavior of the gas as a gray body.

Several studies have led to the determination of the following tables according to Temperature, the partial pressure of the gas and the optical path. Here is an example for the two more significant gas CO2 and H2O

GAS EMISSIVITY MODEL VALIDATION




28

To calculate analytically the gas emissivity

we have developed a 4 degree polynomial curve and we compared it

with data derived from literature

The total gas emissivity is

DETECTOR




38

DetectorsThe construction of a thermal imaging camera is similar to the construction of a digital video camera. There is a lens, a detector, some electronics to process the signal from the detector and a viewfinder or screen for the user to see the image produced by the camera. The detectors used for the Gas Detection cameras are quantum detectors that require cooling to cryogenic temperatures(around 70K or -203°C). The MW camera uses an InSb detector and the LW camera a QWIP detector.

CONCLUSIONSThe radiative heat transfer is crucial and strategic for the combustion simulation and for the recirculating gas technology. A model for gas emissivity has been validated.

The post processing of visual frames from a video camera installed in the furnace can give interesting insights into the flame monitoring

Video camera data can be coupled or integrated with CFD analysis to support the furnace design and monitoring
