Research on calculating exchange factors of the parabolic reflector of the G-type radiant cooler by the Monte Carlo method
The parabolic reflector of the G-type radiant cooler is one of the most important refrigeration parts
and the key point of calculating its exchange factors to other parts by the Monte Carlo method is to simulate the location and direction of radiant packets correctly. This research found new methods to confirm the location and direction of energy packets on the curved surface during calculating exchange factors of the parabolic reflector of the G-type radiant cooler. By expanding the curved surface and screening out first simulating radiant packets
valid radiant packets filter through the boundary of the parabolic reflector and are able to confirm the location correctly. By exchanging tangent plane coordinate system to original coordinate system
the direction of radiant packets is confirmed by radiant packets generated from tangent plane of the parabolic reflector. Depending on new methods
exchange factors of the parabolic reflector to other surfaces are calculated by the Monte Carlo method and results are analyzed too.
