Abstract

The entrance region turbulent flow between parallel planes has been investigated numerically. Variation of fluid properties with temperature has been considered. Monte Carlo simulation has been used with a narrow band non-gray model to investigate radiative transfer. The effects of radiative transfer and variable properties have been separately and systematically considered. Representative results are included for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. For the conditions considered, the results show that the variable properties exert a stronger influence compared to radiative transfer alone.
