Abstract
A general model for one‐dimensional radiative energy transfer through a bed of fibrous materials is presented. The end result is the radiative thermal conductivity as a function of bed thickness, fiber emittances, volume fraction occupied by the fibers, and the average fiber diameter. Any general geometrical model of the arrangement of the fibers in the bed can be used in this model. For comparison purposes, a bed with randomly oriented fibers is considered.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
