Analysis of two-phase radiation in thermally developing poiseuille flow

Combined conductive and radiative heat transfer in a thermally developing t wo-phase Poiseuille flow in a cylindrical duct is studied here. A two-phase radiative transfer equation (RTE) considering radiation by both gas and pa rticles is taken into account. A complex form of nonlinear integrodifferent ial RTE is solved by the discrete ordinates method (DOM, or so called S-N m ethod) in axisymmetric geometry. After such validation, namely, the solutio n in a two-dimensional channel flow between two flat plates is compared wit h that solved by the zone method, the program is then applied to fully deve loped gas-particle two-phase flow in a cylindrical duct. A parametric study is performed for gas and particle absorption coefficients, particle number density, particle emissivity, and wad emissivity. The results show a signi ficant effect of two-phase radiation on the thermal characteristics. Howeve r, in all cases, it was found that conduction is predominant near the wall.
