Thermal radiative properties of multi-plate glass systems for solar diffuse radiation flux
Abstract
An analysis is presented for predicting solar diffuse radiation characteristics of multilayer glass systems. Isotropic diffuse field approximation is discussed and results are given. Two hypotheses are stressed and analyzed. The first stems from the weak dependence of solar diffuse transmittance on the slope of the system. The second leads to evaluation of solar diffusion transmittance as directional for a fixed angle of incidence.
