DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINITE ANALYTIC WITH RADIATION METHOD.

The finite analytic with radiation method that combines analytical solutions for a subregion with a numerical scheme has been developed for a system where conductive and radiative heat transfer occur simultaneously. Results from the method were acquired and compared to available values in order to establish the accuracy of the method. These comparisons illustrated that the method yields accurate results and produces results within acceptable computational times. The method is an attractive solution scheme and should be considered for systems similar to that studied here and examined for its appropriateness to more complex systems.
