摘要
聚碳酸酯板(PC 板)是最先进的透明隔热材料,因其空腔结构可提供出色的隔热性能和最佳的光学性能而被广泛应用于建筑行业。然而,三维空腔结构固有的各向异性使辐射传递变得复杂,需要在光学性能评估中同时考虑方位角和天顶角。现有研究对这方面的关注有限。本研究旨在通过数值模拟准确描述 PC 面板的光学性能。基于离散序辐射模型开发了一个三维辐射传递模型,用于求解辐射传递方程。验证了该模型在网格划分、角度离散和精度方面的独立性。分析了入射角、几何参数和 PC 面板的光学特性对光学性能的影响。研究结果表明,透射率和吸收率与入射天顶角和方位角的变化密切相关。透射率呈现出一致的单调变化,可表示为有理双函数。值得注意的是,吸收峰值出现在特定的实体角范围内,结构复杂度增加会导致吸收增加,不确定性增大。对于传统 PC 材料,最大透射率范围为 46.9 % 到 73 %,而最大吸收率范围为 2.3 % 到 13.5 %。吸收系数、折射率和表面散射系数的增加会非线性地降低透射率,同时增加吸收率。此外,随着非水平结构的增加,透射率和吸收率与方位角的偏差也会扩大。灵敏度分析表明,天顶角对透射率有显著影响,而吸收系数主要影响吸收率。
Numerical investigation of optical characterization of polycarbonate panels
Polycarbonate panels (PC panels) are state-of-the-art transparent insulating materials widely used in the construction industry due to their cavity structure, which provides exceptional thermal insulation and optimal optical performance. However, the inherent anisotropy of the three-dimensional cavity structure complicates radiative transfer and requires consideration of both azimuth and zenith angles in optical performance evaluation. This aspect has received limited attention in existing research. This study aims to accurately characterize the optical performance of PC panels through numerical simulations. A three-dimensional radiative transfer model based on the discrete ordinate radiation model is developed to solve the radiation transfer equation. The model's independency regarding mesh division, angular discretization, and accuracy is validated. The effects of incidence angle, geometric parameters, and optical properties of PC panels on optical performance are analyzed. The findings reveal a strong correlation between transmittance and absorption with variations in incident zenith and azimuth angles. The transmittance exhibits a consistent monotonic variation expressible as a rational bifunction. Notably, absorption peaks occur within specific solid angle ranges, with increased structural complexity resulting in heightened absorption and greater uncertainty. For conventional PC materials, maximum transmittance ranges from 46.9 % to 73 %, while maximum absorption ranges from 2.3 % to 13.5 %. Increasing absorption coefficients, refractive index, and surface scattering coefficients nonlinearly decrease transmittance while increasing absorption. Additionally, deviations in transmittance and absorption with azimuth angle amplify with an increase in non-horizontal structures. Sensitivity analysis indicates a significant influence of zenith angle on transmittance, and absorption coefficient predominantly affects absorption.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
