Abstract

An analytical model is developed to calculate the radiative heat transfer through a fibrous layer with various fiber orientations considering the effect of the diameter and the optical properties of the fiber. Milne-Eddington approximation is adopted to obtain a two-flux model type of formulation. To facilitate determination of the extinction efficiency, scattering albedo of the fibrous layer and backscatter factor required for the analysis, these values are shown graphically as the functions of complex index of refraction, size parameter and fiber orientation. The validity of the present model is shown by comparing the results with ones obtained by the Monte Carlo method.
