Abstract: The inverse radiative boundary design problem in a hexagonal furnace is numerically investigated. The aim of this study is to find the strength of heaters in a twodimensional (2D) enclosure to produce the desired temperature ...

Abstract: In this paper, the inverse radiation boundary problem is solved using a simplified backward Monte Carlo method (MCM) for cases in which radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer (i.e., radiative equilibrium). For an ...

Abstract: In order to achieve uniform distribution of heat flux over an isothermal heated target surface, a numerical algorithm is developed to obtain an optimized array of four laminar impinging slot jets. Root mean square deviation ...

Abstract: In this paper, an optimization was performed to achieve uniform distribution of convective heat transfer coefficient over a target plate using two impinging slot (air) jets. The objective function is the root mean square ...
