Many methods are available for the solution of radiative heat transfer problems in
participating media. Among these, the discrete ordinates method (DOM) and the finite …

Finite Difference Methods in Heat Transfer, Second Edition focuses on finite difference
methods and their application to the solution of heat transfer problems. Such methods are …

This chapter presents a finite-volume (FV) method for computing radiation heat transfer
processes. The main ingredients of the calculation procedure were presented by Chai et …

This new edition updated the material by expanding coverage of certain topics, adding new
examples and problems, removing outdated material, and adding a computer disk, which …

In this paper, the phonon Boltzmann equation model is established to study the phonon
thermal conductivity of nanocomposites with nanowires embedded in a host semiconductor …

Heat conduction in micro-and nanoscale and in ultrafast processes may deviate from the
predictions of the Fourier law, due to boundary and interface scattering, the ballistic nature of …

In this paper, we have discussed the state of the art on numerical techniques for estimating
light intensity distribution in photocatalytic reactors. After giving a brief introduction to various …

Shading devices are widely used in the Mediterranean area, since they reduce strong solar
radiation effects in the closed environment. On the contrary, they have negative effects on …

In this study, we systematically compared the accuracy and computational cost of two
popular solution methods for the radiative transfer equation (RTE): the spherical harmonics …

A high-temperature pressurized air-based receiver for power generation via solar-driven gas
turbines is experimentally examined and numerically modeled. It consists of an annular …
