Abstract
The differential approximation is used to analyze an axially symmetric radiation field for a gray medium within a finite, cylindrical enclosure. The medium emits, absorbs, and isotropically scatters radiant energy and is subject to a specified heat generation. Numerical solutions are obtained for the radiative heat flux and emissive power distributions. It is found that the accuracy of the differential approximation is of the same order for the axially symmetric and one-dimensional problems.
