A PHOTOMETRIC METHOD OF DETERMINING CONFIGURATION FACTORS

Lawson, D.I. and Hird, D., 1953. A PHOTOMETRIC METHOD OF DETERMINING CONFIGURATION FACTORS. Fire Research Notes 56


ABSTRACT

A photometric method is described which enables a speedy exploration of configuration factors to be made. The method can also be used to solve the reverse problem of finding the positions with respect to a radiator at which there is a given configuration factor. Whereas the method can be applied more easily to two-dimensional sources of radiation, it can also be applied to many three-dimensional radiators.
