A computer program using a variation of the Monte Carlo method was developed to predict radiative exchange factors in three-dimensional configurations with curved surfaces. The model allows for arbitrary emission, absorption, and reflection characteristics and for radiation exchange between surfaces as well as external irradiation through openings. It was shown that exchange factors can be determined efficiently by using the normal Monte Carlo method for closed configurations and/or high surface emissivities, while energy partitioning is vastly superior in the case of open configurations and/or low surface emissivities. Comparison with some experiments performed on the Space Shuttle heat rejection system demonstrates the model's accuracy as well as its superiority over a simplified diffuse-surface analysis, which requires similar amounts of computer time.
