Studies on the Thermal Radiation Environment within Livestock Barns(8)
-Radiant-interchange Configuration Factors for Swine to Inside Roof Surface of Gable Roofed Open-type Livestock Barns-

Masayoshi MINOWA, Tomoharu YAMAGUCHI and Yoshiyasu AIHARA

Summary

    In order to evaluate the effects of different dimensional factors on radiant heat coming downward on to an infinitesimal horizontal surface concerning the radiant heat load of a real swine, the authors determined dimensions of cylinders which gave the same values as radiant-interchange configuration factors for swine to inside roof surfaces of gable roofed barns, and compared configuration factors for cylinders with ones for infinitesimal horizontal surfaces.
    Radiant-interchange configuration factors for infinitesimal horizontal surfaces to inside roof surfaces were about 2.8 - 3.0 times as large as those for cylinders. And configuration factors for infinitesimal horizontal surfaces to the sky were about 0.6 - 0.8 times as large as those for cylinders.
