Radiation properties for polydispersions: Application to coal
Journal Article
·
· J. Heat Transfer; (United States)
The extinction and absorption coefficients and the asymmetry for factor for polydispersions of absorbing spherical particles are analyzed. The results are based upon Mie's theory for single spherical particles and particle size distribution found in practical systems. Dimensionless spectral radiation properties are shown to be independent of the explicit size distribution and functions only of the average radii and the index of refraction. The Planck and Rosseland mean coefficients are also presented and the dependence on temperature is explicitly denoted for a large practical temperature range. The results for coal with optical properties which are wavelength dependent indicate the usefulness of the dimensionless and mean properties.
