Abstract

The energy distribution and temperature evolution within paintlike systems that are exposed to spectral radiant energy were studied. A complete set of material properties was derived and discussed. Infrared measurements were conducted to obtain experimental data for the temperature in the paint film. The heat flux due to the incident radiation from the plasma arc lamp was measured using a heat flux sensor with a very short response time. A radiative transport model based on spectral four-flux radiation transport equations has been developed for multilayered and semitransparent material systems. Comparisons between the computed and experimental results for temperature show that the energy transport model yields accurate results for a black painted substrate.
