Thermoelectric Heat-Flux Measuring Elements

Abstract

The knowledge of the local value of the heat flux is very important information for the understanding of processes in devices based on heat exchange. In the past no instruments were available for the measurements of heat transfer through very small surfaces in objects of arbitrary configuration. Consequently, the present authors developed universal, highly accurate and stable devices which do not generate distortions of the original physical process. The units are based on differential thermocouples using thermoelectrode materials as auxiliary walls generating a temperature difference proportional to the heat flux.
