Abstract
Heat radiation in packed solids. The term packed solids embraces fixed beds and all other, sometimes less rigidly fixed, arrangements of solids particles of any shape in a gaseous environment. Cell and quasihomogeneous models have been developed for determining heat radiation in such systems and their predictions compared with one another and especially with available experimental data. Since fixed beds of spherical particles have been considered most frequently so far, they receive the greatest attention in this article. Topics such as radiation components in insulation systems, in chemical fixed bed reactors, in porous particles, and the effect of radiation on the wall heat transfer coefficient are mentioned only briefly.
