In this paper, the inverse radiation boundary problem is solved using a simplified backward Monte Carlo method (MCM) for cases in which radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer (i.e., radiative equilibrium). For an N-surface enclosure, N2 radiative transfer factors are required to carry out the radiant exchange calculations. In this paper, it is shown that when the enclosure is comprised of some adiabatic surfaces (as is nearly always the case in radiative furnaces), this number can be reduced considerably. This reduction in the required number of distribution factors causes a clear simplification in the formulation of the inverse problem and a substantial reduction in the computational time. After presenting the formulation for the inverse problem, standard test cases are solved to demonstrate the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed method.
