Abstract

The main mode of heat transfer of combustion gases at high temperature is thermal radiation of the participating gases, which are mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. Therefore, the information of the emissivities of carbon dioxide and water vapor would be very important in the thermal performance analysis of a furnace. In this study, an exponential model for the emissivities of carbon dioxide and water vapor is derived as a function of the product of the partial pressure and characteristic length and a polynomial of reciprocal of temperature. Error analysis of the calculated values from the present model is performed for the temperature ranges of 555.6∼2777.8K and the partial-pressure-length product ranges of 0.09144∼609.6 cm-atm. For carbon dioxide, the difference between the values from the present model and the Hottels chart is less than 2.5% using a polynomial in 1/T of degree of 4. For water vapor, the model can predict the emissivity within 2.5% difference using a polynomial in 1/T of degree of 3.
