Abstract

An exact solution is obtained for the problem of fully-developed, radiating, laminar convective flow in a vertical heated channel. The effect of radiation is to decrease the temperature difference between the gas and the wall, thereby reducing the influence of natural convection. Thus, the reduction in velocity occurring in a heated upflow is less for a radiating gas. Graphs are presented for the dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles and for the volume and heat fluxes.
