A two-dimensional model for predicting the rate of radiation
heat transfer for the interior of an industrial furnace is described.
The model is two-dimensional due to the assumptions of the heat
source as an infinite radiating plane and the heat sink as rows of
parallel tubes that are both infinite...
During the operation of phase-change ink-jet printers a bubble formation
phenomenon often occurs. These bubbles are detrimental to the operation of
the printer and substantial efforts are made to remove them. The objective of
this research was 1: to develop a fundamental understanding of how bubble or
void formation occurs...
Bidirectional reflectance is a fundamental property
used for the analysis of radiative heat transfer. It is a
form of reflectivity in which the spectral and directional
dependencies of both the beam incident on a surface and the
beam reflected from the surface are specified.
A new system has been designed...
