CONDUCTIVE-RADIATIVE HEAT TRANSFER IN A SCATTERING MEDIUM WITH ANGLE-DEPENDENT RFLECTIVE BOUNDAIES

The conductive radiative transfer problem in homogeneous plane parallel medium of anisotropic scattering with specularly reflecting boundaries has been considered.The angular dependent reflectivity of the boundary is considered as Fresnel’sreflection probability function. A Galerkin-iterative technique is used to solve the coupled conductive radiative heat equations in integral forms. Numerical results areobtained for the temperature, the conductive, radiative and the total heat fluxes for homogeneous upon the reflective index of the medium with isotropic or anisotropic scattering. Results obtained for homogeneous medium with isotropic or anisotropicscattering are compared with the published calculations.
