Finding Temperature Distribution Across Rad Shields in a Vacuum Furnace

In summary, radiation heat transfer is the process of transferring heat energy through electromagnetic waves without the need for a medium. It occurs when an object with a higher temperature emits waves that are absorbed by a cooler object, resulting in an increase in temperature. Factors such as temperature difference, surface area, and emissivity affect the rate of heat transfer, which can be controlled through reflective surfaces, insulation, or temperature changes. Real-life examples of radiation heat transfer include sunlight, campfires, and light bulbs, as well as its use in industrial processes.

Hi,
We are doing radiation analysis using solidworks simulation..And as a part of this project i need to validate it theretically..Hope i will get some help here..

Its cylindrical vacuum furnace,where inside strip type heating elements are placed which are connected to transformer of 60kW.After this 5 rad shields(ss 310) are placed.Operating temp is 950 Deg celcius.How can i find temp distribution across the rad shields.
Please share any links that will be helpful..

This is how it looks..To hold those elements 30mm width strips are used...

Related to Finding Temperature Distribution Across Rad Shields in a Vacuum Furnace

1. What is radiation heat transfer?

Radiation heat transfer is the process of transferring heat energy through electromagnetic waves. This type of heat transfer does not require a medium, such as air or water, and can occur between two objects that are not in direct contact.

2. How does radiation heat transfer occur?

Radiation heat transfer occurs when an object with a higher temperature emits electromagnetic waves, which are then absorbed by an object with a lower temperature. This results in an increase in the temperature of the cooler object.

3. What factors affect radiation heat transfer?

The rate of radiation heat transfer is affected by factors such as the temperature difference between objects, the surface area of the objects, and the emissivity of the objects' surfaces. Emissivity is the ability of a surface to emit radiation.

4. Can radiation heat transfer be controlled?

Yes, radiation heat transfer can be controlled through various methods such as using reflective surfaces, insulating materials, or changing the temperature of the objects involved. These methods can either increase or decrease the rate of heat transfer.

5. What are some real-life examples of radiation heat transfer?

Some examples of radiation heat transfer include the heat we feel from the sun, the warmth we receive from a campfire, and the heat emitted by a light bulb. Radiation heat transfer is also used in various industrial processes, such as in the manufacturing of glass and ceramics.
