A comparison of electromagnetic wave and radiative transfer equation analyses of a coal particle surrounded by a soot cloud

The electromagnetic wave analysis of scattering from a two-component, stratified sphere has been applied to the physical situation consisting of a coal particle surrounded by a soot cloud. The analysis enables definition of emission coefficients for the coal and soot components. Comparisons are made...

Summary:The electromagnetic wave analysis of scattering from a two-component, stratified sphere has been applied to the physical situation consisting of a coal particle surrounded by a soot cloud. The analysis enables definition of emission coefficients for the coal and soot components. Comparisons are made with models based upon solutions to the radiative transfer equation, and agreement is found to be excellent for coal particle diameters six to seven times larger than the wavelength of radiation.
