Summary
The radiation configuration factors of a pig are necessary for estimating radiation exchange rate between the pig body and surrounding objects. The configuration factors of the polyhedric surface-model pig, which was 27 kg in live weight, in a standing posture and composed of many surface-mounted triangular patches, were numerically calculated by using the procedure in the second paper and the law of summation for configuration factors. The figures for determining configuration factors of a 27 kg pig to rectangular planes on the ceiling, or on the floor in direct contact with or below the bases of its hoofs were presented with the size of the plane and the distance between the plane and it as parameters.HomePageKeywords: 27 kg pig, surface-model, computer graphics, law of solid-angle projection, radiation configuration factor, ceiling, floor
