“…For that purpose we implemented a model of heat transfer by radiation, where the system consists of a heat emitter, a reflector and a heated body. A similar topic, i.e., radiative heat transfer simulation, can be found in the work of Takami, Danielson and Mahmoudi [6], where the authors present simulations for the purpose of optimizing the high power reflector with respect to heat power and temperature distribution.…”

<p>The article deals with a heat radiation model used for heat flux calculation of an infrared heater. In general, we consider a system consisting of a set of objects, whereas a single object could stand for a heater, a reflector or a heated body. Each of the objects is defined by its bounding surface. The presented model applies a 2D restriction of the real system. The aim of a particular simulation is to obtain a heat flux distribution all over the heated body under given conditions such as objects temperature and material properties. Furthermore, the implemented model is used to design a reflector profile to obtain a desired heat flux distribution. The paper presents the implemented model, a comparison of simulated and measured data and an example of reflector design.</p>

One of the sources of increased industrial energy consumption is the heating equipment, e.g., furnaces. Their domain of use is very wide and due to its abundance of applications it is key equipment in modern civilization. The present experimental investigations are related to reducing energy consumptions and started from the geometry of a classic manufactured furnace. During this experimental study, different cases have been carefully chosen in order to compare and measure the effects of applying different enhancement methods of the radiation heat transfer processes. The main objective work was to evaluate the behavior of a heated enclosure, when different radiant panels were introduced. The experimental investigation showed that their efficiency was influenced by their position inside the heating area. In conclusion, changing the inner geometry by introducing radiant panels inside the heated chamber leads to important time savings in the heating process
