On the temperature distribution of a body heated by radiation
Abstract
In this paper, we study the temperature distribution of a body when the heat is transmitted only by radiation. The heat transmitted by convection and conduction is ignored. We consider the stationary radiative transfer equation in the local thermodynamic equilibrium. We prove that the stationary radiative transfer equation coupled with the non-local temperature equation is well-posed in a generic case when emission-absorption or scattering of interacting radiation is considered. The emission-absorption and the scattering coefficients are assumed to be general and they can depend on the frequency of radiation. We also establish an entropy production formula of the system, which is used to prove the uniqueness of solutions for an incoming radiation with constant temperature.
