A simple procedure has been developed for the calculation of the Planck mean emission and absorption coefficients and the Rosseland mean absorption coefficient for infrared radiation of the soot-gas mixtures commonly occurring in luminous flames and smoke. Specific results are presented for mixtures involving carbon dioxide, water vapor and carbon soot, the dominant species in most combustion systems. The close agreement between the various averages clearly demonstrates the usefulness of the mean absorption coefficient concept for applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
