This increase wouldrequire a greater amount of cooling if the use of nonstr
6、stegic materialsis continued. At the lower operating temperatures the steady-statecooling requirements for the various internal components of the turbinemay be determined by considering the heat transfer due to convection only.At the higher temperatures presently contemplated and at the even higher
7、itemperatures that will ultimately be envisioned, radiation will cease tobe negligible and may well become the dominant mechanism. Since present itrends indicate cooling nonstrategic materials as the means of increasingoperating temperatures, it is important that the computation of radiantheat trans
8、fer be facilitated.Unless 8 system is intentionally designed to facilitate computstlonof radiant heat transfer, this computation is, in general, a raLherinvolved operation. The engineer desiring to compute the rndlant heattransfer in a system such as a gas turbine is usually discouraged fromperformi

Since, in general_ exactknowledge of these properties of the surfaces involved in a particularsystem in practice is not avail
11、able, it is difficult to assign morethan an approximate value to the emissivity or absorptivity.To m_ke the analysis mathematically feasible it is common practiceto divide the system into zones, each of which is assigned a mean tem-perature. In this manner the postulate of isothermal surfaces or zon
12、esmay be made. This latter simplification or idealization of the systemintroduces additional errors in the results.The equation generally used for computing net interchange betweentwo isothermal zones separated by a nonabsorbing medium isql_2 = oAIfI_2(TI 4 - T24 )The v consequently_ these values we

Configurations L-3 and L-4 were alsoobtained by numerical integration.The factor discussed in this paper has been called variously anglefactor, shape factor, and configuration factor. The first name, anglefactor_ does not adequately describe the factor
14、 in question. The second,shap_ factor, has been consistently used in the literature as the name ofthe geometric factor in heat conduction. Because conduction and radiationoften occur simultaneously and because shape factor has a unique meaningin heat conduction it appears that the geometric factor f
15、or radiationshould be differently n_med to avoid confusion. The use of configurationfactor is recommended since it has already been used many times and sinceit is adequately descriptive.

The configuration factor from e plane point source(point configu
18、ration factor) is obtained by integration over A2 whilethe mean configuration factor from a line source or a finite source isan average of the point configuration factor over the line source orfinite source, respectively. The configuration factor is a fractionthat is a function of the geometry of th
19、e two surfaces; it also dependson the directional distribution of the radiation from the source. Forthe present discussion let a directional distribution function D()be defined as follows:f?i!Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-4 NACA TN
20、2836where l(e) is the intensity at the angle e (measured from the normalto the plane point source) and Im represents the mean value of theintensity defined by Im = W/_. Experiments (see reference 25) indi-cate that most engineering materials do not exactly follow Lambertscosine principle (reference
21、26); this principle gives values that aretoo low for polished conductors and too high for insulators at largevalues of the angle e. Lamberts cosine principle states that thefunction D(e) is a constant equal to unity and invariable with e.The error introduced by using Lsmberts form of D in the calcu-
22、lation of radiant heat trsnsfer has been assumed too small (in com-parison with other calculation errors tolerated in practice) to warrantthe complications introduced by the use of a more accurate form of D.Eckert (reference 25) gives a method for determining the configurationfactor when a non-Lambe
23、rtian distribution is postulated. One couldintegrate and tabulate configuration factors for the D functionstypical of nonconductors and conductors this may become desirable atsome distant future date.The configuration factor may be defined as the ratio of the radiantflux leaving a source that is inc
24、ident on another surface to the totalflux leaving the source. The limiting values are then zero and unity.After a form of the distribution function D is postulated, the con-figuration factor becomes a purely geometric function.From figure 1 and the definition of the configuration factor fora radiati
