Abstract

The transient heat transfer analysis of a layer has been studied much less than the steady state. However, transient temperature distribution resulted from including radiation and conduction simultaneously, is significantly different from those obtained by considering conduction alone. In order to include the effect of radiation heat transfer, we must insert the gradient of radiative flux in the energy equation. For this purpose, a variety of multi-flux methods have been suggested. A simplified procedure is the two-flux method, which is the one used in the present paper. This paper is focused on one-dimensional transient heat transfer of a layer using Finite Difference Method. To this end, a computer implementation has been written, which is based on implicit finite difference formulation and is capable of considering effect of radiation. By subjecting the layer to various boundary conditions, the effect of variation of refractive index and scattering on transient temperature distribution is discussed.
