Transient radiative-conductive heat transfer in a flat layer of a selectively absorbing and radiating medium

Results of a numerical solution of the unsteady boundary-value problem of radiative-conductive heat transfer in a flat layer of a selective nonscattering medium with semitransparent mirrorreflecting boundaries are presented. This problem reduces to a nonlinear integral equation in the unknown temperature with the use of a Green function. The optical properties of the walls are shown to have a strong effect on the formation of a temperature field in the layer. The intensity of heating of the layer depends on the radiative fluxes to a greater extent than on the conductive fluxes.
