Abstract:

The combustion products of a flame or rocket engine consist, in general, of a gas or of several gases, or of a mixture of particles such as carbon or oxides, and gases. In order to calculate the radiation from these systems, an expression is needed which takes into account the emissive properties of the gases and particles, and scattering by the particles if important in the wavelength region concerned, and the temperature, pressure and concentration variations of the system. An added benefit of a general relation is a better understanding of the physical processes. The radiation balance equation is obtained for a system of gases and particles in local thermodynamic equilibrium. Author
