Purdue ME 606: Beyond the Gray Approximation and Radiative Heat Flux (Lecture 10)
Beyond the Gray Approximation
Spectral enclosure energy balance:
Generally, divide spectrum into M bands (Δλs)

Integral coupling equation
Simplest Approximation: Semi Gray
Two wavelength bands—most useful when source and wall temperature differ greatly.

M=2; # of equation =2N;
Unknowns: 4N
q''andT for each band on each surface
Going further, we could have more refinement of the spectrum

Non-gray directional radiation exchange
Need to use
Now, we must discreteize both
and θ
Let’s each has N increments

Typically:
N=5,000 – 50,000 +
M=3 – 8 (ex. RGB, CMYK)
ρbdtreated fairly simply
Often supplemented by a specular reflectivity
ρs = ρs(θi)

Derivation: Iη = net rate of radiant transfer
In direction of S per area per solid angle
is the wave number
Absorption/ Scattering
− dIη = kηIηds + σηIηds = βηIηds
kη: linear, monochromatic absorption coefficient
ση: linear, monochromatic scattering coefficient
Outscattering

Total attenuation
βη≡kη + ση
Extinction coefficient
For all incident beams in a volume:
If Iη is isotropic then:
In general, we do not expect
βη,kη,ση to depend on direction
