Also, this criterion only dealswith heat losses measured during the cooling phase, not lossesduring the heating phase, which can be greater

Under these circumstances, significant heat losses fromslug to holder during the heating phase, as well as otherpossible decaying processes such as a drop in surface cataly-city, can cause the Temperature-Time slope to decrease signifi-cantly more than can be accounted for b

30、 more than 0.05 mm on the radius. Thus,if severe pressure variations exist across the face of thecalorimeter, side heating caused by flow into or out of theinsulation gap would be minimized. Depending on the size ofthe calorimeter surface, variations in heat transfer rate mayexist across the face of

31、 the calorimeter; therefore, the measuredheat transfer rate represents an average heat transfer rate overthe surface of the slug.3.5 Since interpretation of the data obtained by this testmethod is not within the scope of this discussion, such effectsas surface recombination and thermo-chemical bound

32、ary layerreactions are not considered in this test method.3.6 If the thermal capacitance calorimeter is used to mea-sure only radiative heat transfer rate or combined convective/radiative heat transfer rate values, the surface reflectivity of thecalorimeter should be measured over the wavelength reg

33、ion ofinterest (depending on the source of radiant energy).4. Significance and Use4.1 The purpose of this test method is to measure the rate ofthermal energy per unit area transferred into a known piece ofmaterial (slug) for purposes of calibrating the thermal environ-ment into which test specimens

34、are placed for evaluation. Thecalorimeter and holder size and shape should be identical tothat of the test specimen. In this manner, the measured heattransfer rate to the calorimeter can be related to that experi-enced by the test specimen.4.2 The slug calorimeter is one of many calorimeter con-cept

35、s used to measure heat transfer rate. This type of calorim-eter is simple to fabricate, inexpensive, and readily installedsince it is not water-cooled. The primary disadvantages are itsshort lifetime and relatively long cool-down time after expo-sure to the thermal environment. In measuring the heat

36、 transferrate to the calorimeter, accurate measurement of the rate of risein back-face temperature is imperative.4.3 In the evaluation of high-temperature materials, slugcalorimeters are used to measure the heat transfer rate onvarious parts of the instrumented models, since heat transferrate is one

37、 of the important parameters in evaluating theperformance of ablative materials.4.4 Regardless of the source of thermal energy to thecalorimeter (radiative, convective, or a combination thereof)the measurement is averaged over the calorimeter surface. If asignificant percentage of the total thermal

38、energy is radiative,consideration should be given to the emissivity of the slugsurface. If non-uniformities exist in the input energy, the heattransfer rate calorimeter would tend to average these varia-tions; therefore, the size of the sensing element (that is, theslug) should be limited to small d

39、iameters in order to measurelocal heat transfer rate values.Where large ablative samples areto be tested, it is recommended that a number of calorimetersbe incorporated in the body of the test specimen such that aheat transfer rate distribution across the heated surface can bedetermined. In this man

40、ner, more representative heat transferrate values can be defined for the test specimen and thus enablemore meaningful interpretation of the test. The slug selectionmay be determined using the nomogram as a guide (seeAppendix X1).5. Apparatus5.1 GeneralThe apparatus shall consist of a thermalcapacita

41、nce (slug) calorimeter and the necessary instrumenta-tion to measure the thermal energy transferred to the calorim-eter. All calculations should use only those data taken after theheat source has achieved steady-state operating conditions.Wherever possible, it is desirable that several measurements

42、bemade of the required parameters.5.2 Back-Face Temperature MeasurementThe method oftemperature measurement must be sufficiently sensitive andreliable to ensure accurate temperature rise data for theback-face thermocouple. Procedures should be adhered to inthe calibration and preparation of the ther

43、mocouples. Attach-ment of the thermocouples should be such that the trueback-side temperatures are obtained.Although no standardizedprocedures are available, methods such as resistance welding(small spot) and peening have been successfully used. Theerror in measurement of temperature difference betw

44、een theinitial and final times should not exceed 62 %. The tempera-ture measurements shall be recorded continuously using acommercially available recorder whose frequency response isat least ten times the expected frequency response of the slugto provide the accuracy required. During the course of o

45、pera-tion of the plasma arc or other heat source, care must be takento minimize deposits on the calorimeter surface.5.3 Data AcquisitionThe important parameter, back-facetemperature rise, shall be automatically recorded throughout5Childs, P.

47、084the calibration period. Recording speed will depend on the heattransfer rate level such that the time range shall approach thetemperature rise displacement on the recording paper. Timingmarks shall be an integral part of the recorder output.6. Procedure6.1 It is essential that the thermal energy

48、source (environ-ment) be at steady-state conditions prior to testing if thethermal capacitance calorimeter is to produce representativeheat transfer rate measurements. Make a millivolt scale cali-bration of the recorder prior to exposure of the calorimeter tothe environment. With the recorder operat

49、ing at the properspeed (see 4.3), expose the calorimeter to the thermal environ-ment as rapidly as possible. After removal from the thermalenvironment, record the back-face temperature for sufficienttime to determine the heat loss rate from the slug. Significantdifferences between the maximum and post-test values mayindicate heat conduction losses to the calorimeter body. Iffeasible, obtain more than one measurement with more thanone test method for a given thermal environment. To ensurethat energy losses are minimized, the cooling rate slope shouldcompare
