Emissivities of diffuse cavities, II: Isothermal and nonisothermal cylindro-cones

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Local, hemispherical, effective emissivities and integrated cavity emissivities are computed for isothermal and nonisothermal diffuse cylindro-cones (a cylindrical section of radius R2 and length L2 joined to a conical base of length L1 and half-angle θ), with and without lids, and are compared with corresponding values for the limiting cases of right circular cones and cylinders. The local emissivities everywhere along the walls are considerably higher in a cylindro-cone with a lid than in a similar one without, and also increase rapidly with decreasing cone angle. They are considerably higher in a cylindro-cone than in a cone of length L1 or in a cylinder of length L2. On the other hand, for cavities of the same total length, the cylinder has the highest local emissivities except at and near the base, where the emissivity of the cone is highest. There is a regular transition between these two extremes through various intermediary cylindro-cones. The normal integrated cavity emissivities are higher than the hemispherical emissivities for cavities for which (L1 + L2)/2R2 ≳ 0.8. The local and integrated spectral emissivities of nonisothermal cylindro-cones change markedly with wavelength and somewhat with cavity reference temperature. Approximate local emissivities for nonisothermal cylindro-cones can be obtained from corresponding isothermal ones in a simple manner, with useful accuracy.
