Radiative heat transfer is the focus of many studies on heat transfer issues in the built
environment, and the view factor (VF) between the surfaces of built objects in space is a …

View factor calculation is one of the most important aspects in radiation heat transfer. The
aim of this work is to derive view factor expression for the interchange of radiant energy …

This article deals with the modelling of the thermal behaviour of multi-disc aircraft brake
during the braking and cooling stages. An experimental test bench operating under real …

This article introduces a novel quadrature scheme for the discrete ordinates method (DOM)
called Uniform Constant Weight Quadrature (UCWQ). A new version of the discrete …

View factor calculation is an element of vital importance in radiation heat transfer. In
engineering practice, it is common to find a radiant exchange between more complex …

Radiant heat exchange affects the thermal balance of the human body and is related to
thermal comfort. Quite a number of studies focused on the effect of radiant temperature on …

View factor calculation is a key point in radiation heat transfer between surfaces. In thermal
engineering it is required to compute the view factor between complex geometries, which …

Solar thermal energy has the theoretical potential to deliver heat at ultra-high temperatures
(> 1300 K), which can enable integration with state-of-the-art thermal energy storage …

In radiation heat transfer calculations, the view factor between surfaces is an element of vital
importance. Currently, the available technical literature does not have an analytical …

This paper demonstrates that the well-known method for calculating view factors, the Monte
Carlo method, combined with ray tracing is not necessarily the most efficient strategy. The …
