The form of the set of nonlinear equations for radiative interchange in this system suggested recasting them as an electrical network. The schematic for such a network is shown in Figure 5. The radiosities and blackbody emissive powers are represented by node potentials, while heat transfer rates are analogous to electrical currents. The conductance associated with each resistor in the circuit is specified by an appropriate equation. Summing the currents into each node produces three independent equations. If all but 5.5.6 |
