Abstract
A two-dimensional Monte Carlo method has been applied to a classic rad iant energy exchange problem that models the interior of an industrial furnace. The configuration involves a source as an infinite radiating plane and the heat sink as parallel rows of infinitely long tubes. Ho ttel used a graphical technique to solve this furnace model for the tw o-tube-row configuration. This work extends Hottel's results by increa sing the number of rows in the original equilateral triangular array a nd then generalizing the results to isosceles triangular arrangements.
