Abstract
Decoupled radiative transfer calculations of Sandia Flame D are performed employing experimental measurements of temperature and gas compositions and the discrete ordinates method. Turbulence radiation interactions are accounted for employing temperature variance measurements. The spatial variations in the mean H 2O/CO 2 ratios within the flame are seen to vary widely and sometimes fall outside the range of the weighted-sum-of-gray-gases model (WSGGM) parameters reported in the literature. Therefore, parameters for a new WSGGM are computed from total emissivity correlations encompassing the range of the H 2O/CO 2 ratios encountered within the flame. Predictions from the new model compare favorably against the spectral-line-based WSGGM and existing benchmarks.
