Abstract
The time-dependent problems of radiative transfer involve a coupling between radiation and material energy fields and are nonlinear because of proposed temperature dependence of the medium characteristics in semi-infinite medium with Rayleigh anisotropic scattering. By means of the limited flux, Chapman–Enskog and maximum entropy technique the time-dependent radiative transfer equation has been solved explicitly. The maximum entropy method is used to solve the resulting differential equation for radiative energy density. The calculations are carried out for temperature (normalized dimensionless)
