Abstract

Total absorptivity of glass in the presence of a N2/CO2/H2O is determined numerically using the glass spectral optical properties and the spectroscopic data from RADCAL. Results show that mixture properties (surface temperature, mixture temperature, and species concentration) have significant effects on the glass total absorptivity. The commonly used approach of using a gray emitter in the evaluation of the glass total absorptivity is shown to be inaccurate. For a specific glass, a neural network, RADNNET-GL, is generated to correlate the glass total absorptivity and the neural network can be readily applied to practical engineering applications (e.g., fire simulations) to determine the glass thermal behavior efficiently.
