The extensive use of films and plastics in the construction of modern structures evokes the necessity of solving radiant heat transfer problems relative to thermal radiation. Moreover, the space of these structures is filled with nonisothermal media emitting and absorbing thermal radiation since triatomic gases are usually contained therein. The cause of the nonisothermal nature of the gas space is the different temperature of its bounding surface. The radiant heat transfer problem for this system is solved, in this paper, by a model based on a closed emitting system bounded by a nonisothermal semiopaque shell with the absorption and emission of such a nonisothermal gas medium taken into account.
