Discrete ordinates solutions of the radiative transport equation have been obtained for two- and three-dimensional rectangular enclosures using the S/sub 2/ and S/sub 4/ approximations. Limited evaluations indicate that both S/sub 2/ and S/sub 4/ are suitable for predicting radiative transfer in two-dimensional enclosures. However, for the three-dimensional enclosures the S/sub 2/ approximation is found inadequate. It is inferred that S/sub 4/ or higher order approximations should be used to accurately predict radiative heat transfer in three-dimensional rectangular enclosures.
