Parametric study of radiative heat transfer in arrays of fixed discrete surfaces

The parameter space for study of radiative transfer in and through arrays of regular elements is extremely large. The present study has developed a number of correlations, based on MCLITE code results for simple geometric elements. These correlations can guide a designer of heat exchangers in optimizing performance. When the incident radiation is diffuse, these correlations are fairly accurate. When the incident radiation is collimated, and strikes the array at some arbitrary angle, the correlations are less accurate. For detailed analysis of heat exchanger performance there is no substitute for exercising a code such as MCLITE. 4 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs.
