Abstract

The progress in the development of methods for calculating heat transfer in torch furnaces, fireboxes, and combustion chambers is analyzed. In the XIX-XX centuries calculations of radiative heat exchange were followed the methods based on the laws of radiation from black body, disclosed in the XVII-XX. It is substantiated that there is crisis of methods for calculating heat transfer in torch furnaces, fire boxes and combustion chambers. In the early XXI century the author of this manuscript disclosed the laws of radiation from torch gas volumes, described in the article.
