Equation Source for Atmospheric Radiation Formula
Equation Source for Atmospheric Radiation Formula
(OP)
Flareman in the thread798-131662: Flare Radiation Effecting Design Temperature gives the following equation to predict atmospheric transmissivity for flare radiation:
tau = 0.79 * [(100/R)^(1/16)] * [(100/RH%)^(1/16)]
where R = the distance from the flame center and
RH = relative humidity
I've seen this equation presented elsewhere, but I've been unable to discover the source for this equation. Can any one help me out?
Thanks
