It may be used to measureconvective, radiative, or combinations of convective and ra-diative (usually called mixed or total)

16、 heat transfer rates.However, when the calorimeter is used to measure radiative ormixed heat transfer rates, the absorptivity and reflectivity of thesurface should be measured over the expected radiation wave-length region of the source.3.3 In 4.6 and 4.7, it is demonstrated that lateral heatconduct

Apparatus4.1 Calorimeter DesignTypical details of a thin-skin calo-rimeter used for measuring aerodynamic heat transfer rates areshown in Fig. 1. The thermocouple wires (0.127 mm OD,0.005 i

20、n., 36 gage) are individually welded to the back surfaceof the calorimeter using spot, electron beam, or laser tech-niques. This type of thermocouple joint (called an intrinsicthermocouple) has been found to provide superior transientresponse as compared to a peened joint or a beaded thermo-couple t

21、hat is soldered to the surface (1, 2).2The wires shouldbe positioned approximately 1.6 mm apart along an expectedisotherm. The use of a small thermocouple wire minimizes heatconduction into the wire but the calorimeter should still berugged enough for repeated measurements. However, when thethicknes

For a step change in the heat transfer rate, the initialresponse time of the calorimeter is the time required for thetemperature rise rate of the unheated surface to approach thetemperature rise rate of the front surface within 1 %.

30、 to show that the measured rate of temperature change(that is, the slope) is within 5 % of the actual rate oftemperature change in approximately 150 ms. For this case, thetime for a 1 % error in the measured temperature rise rate isroughly 50 times as long as the initial response time predictedby Eq

While thelateral conduction errors can be minimized by using materialswith low thermal diffusivity and short exposure times, thesemay aggravate some of the other constraints, as described in Eq2 and 3.
