Surface junction thermal probe for transient measurements conceptual design to field applications

Abstract

One of the most crucial requirements of a traditional thermal probe is its ability to accurately reproduce thermal quantities of interest such as transient surface temperature history and heat flux data when engaged in a transient environment Some of the prominent fields where thermal sensors have been subjected to are Internal Combustion IC engine heat exchanger steam gas turbines shock tunnel tube applications etc As such a thermal sensor is required to operate upon harsh conditions su
