The naphthalene sublimation technique

Abstract The naphthalene sublimation technique is reviewed in detail. The fundamentals on which it relies are discussed, and then its basic characteristics and typical procedures are presented. The discussion focuses on the different ways the technique can be used to obtain experimental heat transfer information. Finally, a large number of papers on the subject in the heat transfer literature are briefly discussed to illustrate the potential of the technique.
