Particle Radiation Calculator

Flue gases of power plants and chemical processes contain particles which emit and absorb heat energy. Traditionally the estimation of particle radiation is based on manual calculations using data tables and diagrams. The HSC Particle Radiation Calculator enables you to estimate particle suspension emissivities but also the heat flux to the surface.

Using this dialog it is possible to calculate a particle cloud emissivity when some detailed data about the particles and the geometry of the container are known. The results can also be used at a fixed T or iteratively as in the Gas Mixture Radiation dialog. The Diagram button shows a simple drawing of a particle distribution in a container. The gas emissivity at gas temperature and the gas absorptivity at surface temperature are automatically taken from the Gas Mixture Radiation dialog when available.
