External Force Model: Heat Transfer

Heat flow between the particle and the environment due to convection and radiation.

$$T_{env} = \begin{cases} T_{init} + t \left( \frac{T_{fin} - T_{init}}{\Delta t_{heat}} \right) &t \le \Delta t_{heat} \\\ T_{fin} &t > \Delta t_{heat} \end{cases}$$ $$S = \pi R_{p}^{2}$$ $$\dot{Q}_{conv} = h S \left( T_{env} - T_{p} \right)$$ $$\dot{Q}_{rad} = \varepsilon S \left( T_{env}^{4} - T_{p}^{4} \right)$$ $$\dot{Q}_{p} = k \left( \dot{Q}_{conv} + \dot{Q}_{rad} \right)$$

Integration of heat is done as:

$$T_{p} = T_{p} + \frac{\dot{Q}_{p}}{C_{p} m_{p}} \Delta t_{sim}$$
