Advances in Heat Flux Measurements

Publisher Summary The decade of the 1950s saw great advances in heat-transfer measurement techniques. Optical methods became popular, along with several new heat-flux gages that are still in wide use today, as evidenced by the commercial heat-flux-gage manufacturers. In the last 10 to 20 years, a number of new techniques have been developed and applied, which have greatly increased the resolution and operating range of heat-flux instrumentation. Although the older methods are discussed as the background, the focus of this chapter is on the newer techniques and novel uses of the older techniques. In addition, an effort is made to bring together information from a variety of fields that deal with heat transfer, but that often isn't communicated. Three areas of new capability with important applications are time-resolved heat-flux measurements, simultaneous measurement of spatially distributed heat flux, and heat-flux measurement at high-temperature conditions. Examples of recent advances in these areas are discussed. Such new capabilities, when applied to real-world problems, make the field of heat transfer exciting. From these reviews, it is clear that no one gage or method is good for every application. The limitations of previous heat-flux-gage performance are highlighted and the need for better gage characteristics is expressed. Recent advances have been able to overcome some of these limitations and provide measurements with improved accuracy under conditions previously not possible. The discussion of measurement methods is organized by the first three categories of heat-transfer measurement categories, given in the chapter. Recent measurements using the methods discussed are showcased to demonstrate the advances made in measurement capability. Calibration is briefly addressed in the chapter.
