Field-angle dependent specific heat measurement has been done on the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn 5 down to ∼ 0.29 K, in a magnetic field rotating in the tetragonal c-plane. A clear fourfold angular oscillation is observed in the specific heat with the minima (maxima) occurring along the [100] ([110]) directions. Oscillation persists down to low fields H ≪ H c2 , thus directly proving th...

We present a direct measurement of the quenching of nonlocal heat transport in a laser-produced plasma by applying large external magnetic fields (>10 T). The temporally resolved Thomson-scattering measurements of the electron temperature profile show that the heat front propagation transverse to a high-power laser beam is slowed resulting in extremely strong local heating. We find agreement wi...

In many industrial applications one wants to determine the temperature on the surface of a body, where the surface itself is inaccessible to measurement [2, 4]. In this case it is necessary to determine surface temperature from a measured temperature history at a fixed location inside the body. This problem is called an inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP). In a one-dimensional setting, assum...

This paper addresses the potential for predicting heat flux from thermographic phosphor measurements. Temperature can be measured using thermographic phosphors by extracting the intensity decay of the phosphor, which is temperature dependent. This measured temperature can then be used to estimate boundary heat fluxes, which is often called the inverse heat conduction problem. Heating rate can a...

Recent advances in heat flux measurement have resulted in the development of a robust thermopile heat flux sensor intended for use in extreme thermal environments. The High Temperature Heat Flux Sensor (HTHFS) is capable of simultaneously measuring thermopile surface temperature and heat flux at sensor temperatures up to 1000 ◦C. The need for high temperature heat flux calibration of the HTHFS ...

A high temperature guarded-comparative-longitudinal heat flow measurement system has been built to measure the thermal conductivity of a composite nuclear fuel compact. It is a steady-state measurement device designed to operate over a temperature range of 300 K to 1200 K. No existing apparatus is currently available for obtaining the thermal conductivity of the composite fuel in a non-destruct...

A finite element method (FEM) formulation for the prediction of unknown steady boundary conditions in heat conduction for multi-domain three-dimensional solid objects is presented. The FEM formulation is capable of determining temperatures and heat fluxes on the boundaries where such quantities are unknown, provided such quantities are sufficiently over-specified on other boundaries. An inverse...

Critical heat flux (CHF) was measured for a water-cooled micro-channel heat sink containing 21 parallel 215· 821 lm channels. Tests were performed with deionized water over a mass velocity range of 86–368 kg/ms, inlet temperatures of 30 and 60 C, at an outlet pressure of 1.13 bar. As CHF was approached, flow instabilities induced vapor backflow into the heat sink’s upstream plenum, which signif...
