Abstract
In previous chapters we have looked at radiative transfer between surfaces that were separated by vacuum or by a transparent (“radiatively nonparticipating”) medium. However, in many engineering applications the interaction of thermal radiation with an absorbing, emitting, and scattering (“radiatively participating”) medium must be accounted for. Examples in the heat transfer area are the burning of any fuel (be it gaseous, liquid, or solid; be it for power production, within fires, within explosions, etc.), rocket propulsion, hypersonic shock layers, ablation systems on reentry vehicles, nuclear explosions, plasmas in fusion reactors, and many more.
