A NEW METHOD FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER.

Abstract

A new method for the determination of heat transfer is proposed, based on the relation: h = -delta P/delta T where delta P is the power required to maintain temperature at one point, following a depression in temperature delta T at another point. The method was applied to the determination of thermal conductivity of standard silica and ebonite specimens, and gave results correct to within a few per cent. For the general measurement of heat transfer, the method may be used to distinguish between heat flows of particular interest and extraneous flows. (Author)
