processes. The main ingredients of the calculation procedure were presented by Chai et …

A time-dependent integral formulation is developed for modeling transient radiative transfer.
The development is based on a rigorous analysis of the wave propagation process inside …

Thermal radiation is the most effective way for rapid thermal processing (RTP) and rapid
thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD) of wafers. It is well known in the semiconductor …

Radiation plays a significant role in heat transfer within combustion chambers. Therefore,
the flame radiation as well as the related calculations, modeling and measurements are …

The transient radiative transfer is studied by an integral equation model. The salient feature
of the integral formulation is the revelation of the time-dependent domain of integration (or …

The common methods for finding the local radiative flux divergence in participating media
through solution of the radiative transfer equation are outlined. The pros and cons of each …

A time-dependent Monte Carlo method is developed for modeling the transient radiative
transfer within absorbing and scattering media. It is well known that the transmitted and …

An uneven heat flux distribution on the receiver's surface can lead to a highly non-uniform
temperature distribution and high local temperature on the receiver tubes which results in …

Many laser applications involve the transport of radiative energy through turbid media,
including the interaction of light with biological tissue during laser microsurgery, diffuse …
