In order to compute the radiative heat flux on the slab surface
in (6), which is one of the boundary conditions of (1), the RTE,
(4) must be accurately analyzed. In this work, the FVM for
radiation is employed to attack the RTE. Detailed information
on FVM for radiation can be found in Chui and Raithby [22],

A. Code Validation
For the first example, radiation in a square enclosure with a
central block is investigated. The schematics are shown in Fig.
2 (a). The enclosure wall at west face is hot at 320 K, while all
other walls and a central blockage of 0.5m 0.5m are
maintained at 300 K. All walls including a central blockage are
assumed black. The enclosed medium is transparent, i.e.,
a = 0 with no scattering. The spatial and angular grid systems
used are N x = 40 , N y = 40 , N = 4 , and N = 40 , respectively.
Fig. 2 (b) shows the radiative heat flux vectors with incident
radiation contours in the background. As expected, all of the
radiative heat comes from the hot west wall, and the central
blockage blocks the radiative heat, therefore, it can be observed
that there is little radiative heat flux in the east region of
thecentral blockage. The predicted wall heat flux along the
enclosure walls is depicted in Fig. 2 (c). The present solutions
are compared with other solutions obtained by the RIM [25]
and blocked-off FVM [26]. It can be found that the present
solutions well capture the other ones, especially discontinuity at
s = 1m , and the uniform heat flux of 135.27 W m 2 , which
equals to exact heat flux of ( Th4 Tc4 ) = 135.27 W m 2 on
the west wall ( 0.5 s 1m ) .
