Interaction of Radiation with Conduction — Lesson 13

This lesson covers the concept of Radiation Heat Transfer in gases, focusing on how it interacts with conduction. It explains how radiation occurs along with these other modes of heat transfer in real-world scenarios. The lesson further delves into the simplest extension of the pure radiation problem, using the example of a gray gas in one dimension. It also discusses the balance between conduction and radiation, and how to non-dimensionalize equations to simplify them. The lesson concludes with an exploration of how conduction influences radiation, and how to solve related problems numerically.
