An Investigation of a Remote Transient Heat Flux Sensor. Part I. Prediction of Surface Temperature and Heat Flux.

Abstract

The first part of the final report is the prediction of transient surface temperature and heat flux by inverting the temperature response measured at an interior point of a solid material. The configuration considered is a semi-infinite slab, but the inversed solution for prediction of surface temperature and heat flux is shown applicable to a thick slab and hollow cylinder in a transient period for most gun barrel problems to within 5% of accuracy. A table of calibration for use of a foreign single thermocouple wire, with the other wire being the barrel material, is given for constantan, iron, chromel and alumel between 75 to 210 deg. F.
