Comparative Surface Heat Transfer Measurements in Hypervelocity Flow
نویسنده
چکیده
Experimental heat flux measurements are made using both thermocouple and thin film gages in high-temperature, hypersonic flows. Thermocouple and thin film gages have individually been extensively used in relatively high and low enthalpy conditions respectively. In this study, three test conditions with varying (intermediate) stagnation enthalpies, Mach and Reynolds numbers are created in an expansion tube facility, and temperature histories and heat flux measurements obtained using the two gage types are directly compared. Gage performance in terms of survivability, response, uncertainty, and signal-to-noise ratio is assessed for both blunt body and flat plate models.

On the natural convective heat transfer from a cold horizontal cylinder over an adiabatic surface
A steady two-dimensional laminar free convection heat transfer from a cold horizontal isothermal cylinder located above an adiabatic floor is studied both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental measurements the effects of cylinder distance from horizontal floor to its diameter (L/D) on heat transfer coefficient is studied for Rayleigh numbers of 3×105 and 6×105. Computations are ma...
متن کاملTransient heat flux measurement using a surface junction thermocouple
A new form of surface junction thermocouple sensor has been developed and tested. The novel feature of the design is the use of a tapered fit between two coaxial thermocouple elements to form a thin, robust junction. The gauge has a response time on the order of 1 ms and is suitable for measuring large transient heat fluxes in hypervelocity wind tunnels. Asymptotic analysis is used to demonstra...

This article is proposed to address the melting heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid in Blasius and Sakiadis flow caused due to a moving surface. Thermal radiation and a constant free stream are considered in this mathematical model. The non-linear coupled dimensionless equations from the governing equations are attained by employing appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting dimensionle...

In the present work, an inverse analysis of combined radiation and laminar forced convection heat transfer in a two-dimensional channel with variable cross sections is performed. The conjugate gradient method is used to find the temperature distribution over the heater surface to satisfy the prescribed temperature and heat flux distributions over the design surface. The fluid is considered to b...
