Interaction of Radiation and Conduction in Glass

The interaction of radiation and conduction was rigorously treated for one‐dimensional heat transfer, both transient and steady‐state. In this paper only some steady‐state results are discussed. They show that the interaction of radiation and conduction affects temperature distributions and heat fluxes in a variety of ways, depending on physical properties and boundary conditions. The illustrations include a computer simulation of experiments to measure the thermal conductivity of glass and an attempt to predict the vertical temperature profile in a glassmelting tank.
