Summary The large path length limit is investigated for infrared gaseous radiation. This limit differs considerably, as the result of the wing regions of vibrationrotation bands, from the conventional Rosseland limit. For illustrative purposes, results are presented for a gas bounded by two parallel black plates and within which there is a uniform heat source. In order to demonstrate its range of applicability, the large path length limit is compared with numerical solutions for CO, CO2, H2O, and CH4. It is further shown that a gas such as CO2 is a very poor transmitter of radiant energy, relative to other absorbing-emitting gases, in the large path length limit, although just the opposite is true under optically thin conditions.
