Simultaneous reconstruction of temperature distribution, absorptivity of wall surface and absorption coefficient of medium in a 2-D furnace system

For a 2-D furnace system filled with a gray medium, surrounded by gray emitting/absorpting and diffusely reflecting wall surfaces, the temperature distribution is reconstructed using an improved Tikhonov regularization method with radiative energy images detected from the boundary of the furnace, uniform absorptivity of both the wall surfaces and the medium being updated from the temperature images grasped from the boundary too. These steps are taken alternately till a convergence is reached. The measurement errors with normal distribution of standard square deviation of 0.01 are taken into consideration for the radiative energy image and temperature image data. The reconstruction errors for radiative properties vary from 1.45% to 10.75%, and for the highest temperature are within 2%. Comparatively, the reconstruction result for the sharper temperature distribution is not as good as that for the smoother temperature distribution. The applicability of the proposed method may be practically valuable.
