Book Description
A groundbreaking guide dedicated exclusively to the MCRT method in radiation heat transfer and applied optics The Monte Carlo Ray-Trace Method in Radiation Heat Transfer and Applied Optics offers the most modern and up-to-date approach to radiation heat transfer modelling and performance evaluation of optical instruments. The Monte Carlo ray-trace (MCRT) method is based on the statistically predictable behavior of entities, called rays, which describe the paths followed by energy bundles as they are emitted, reflected, scattered, refracted, diffracted and ultimately absorbed. The author – a noted expert on the subject – covers a wide variety of topics including the mathematics and statistics of ray tracing, the physics of thermal radiation, basic principles of geometrical and physical optics, radiant heat exchange among surfaces and within participating media, and the statistical evaluation of uncertainty of results obtained using the method. The book is a guide to help formulate and solve models that accurately describe the distribution of radiant energy in thermal and optical systems of practical engineering interest. This important guide: Combines radiation heat transfer and applied optics into a single discipline Covers the MCRT method, which has emerged as the dominant tool for radiation heat transfer modelling Helps readers to formulate and solve models that describe the distribution of radiant energy Features pages of color images and a wealth of line drawings Written for faculty and graduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering and applied optics professionals, The Monte Carlo Ray-Trace Method in Radiation Heat Transfer and Applied Optics is the first book dedicated exclusively to the MCRT method.

Book Description
The Combustion and Solar Energy Laboratory (C&SEL) at San Diego State University is developing a Small Particle Heat Exchange Receiver (SPHER) to absorb and transfer heat from concentrated solar radiation to a working fluid for a gas turbine. The SPHER is to be used with a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) system where a heliostat field highly concentrates solar radiation on the optical aperture of the SPHER. A unique carbon nanoparticle gas mixture within the cavity of the SPHER volumetrically absorbs the solar radiation. This research focuses on comparing a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model using the ANSYS FLUENT Discrete Ordinates (DO) Model and a program developed by the C&SEL which uses a Monte Carlo Ray Trace (MCRT) method to calculate the spatial and directional distribution of radiation for an idealized solar receiver geometry. Previous research at the C&SEL has shown successful implementation of the MCRT method to calculate the spatial and directional distribution of radiation for an idealized solar receiver geometry. An alternative method for calculating the Radiative Transport Equations (RTE) being considered uses a FORTRAN program, developed by the C&SEL, with the ANSYS FLUENT DO model for calculating the RTE. The methodology used for determining the correct CFD mesh, radiative boundary conditions, optimal number of DO theta and phi discretization, as well as the optical properties of the participating fluid are presented in this thesis. For a gray semi-diffuse radiative input with absorption the DO and MCRT method calculate a mean outlet temperature and receiver efficiency of 1320 K, 75.1%, 1406 K, and 85.2% respectively. Adding a scattering to the gas-particle mixture, the DO and MCRT method calculate a decrease in the mean outlet temperature of 1286 K, 69.0%, 1383 K, and 80.3% respectively. Using a non-gray radiative input with a 4-band absorption coefficient and linear anisotropic scattering coefficient the DO method calculates a mean outlet temperature of 1328 K and receiver efficiency of 72.0%. The MCRT method calculates a mean outlet temperature of 1410 K and receiver efficiency of 81.7%.
