Application of the Transverse Seebeck Effect to Measurement of Instantaneous Values of a Heat Flux on a Vertical Heated Surface under Conditions of Free-Convection Heat Transfer
Abstract:
The design and features of application of a heat-flux sensor whose operation is based on the transverse Seebeck effect are described. The capabilities of the sensor are demonstrated using the investigation of free-convection heat transfer as an example. The results of measurement of instantaneous values of a heat flux on a heated vertical surface are given for different regimes of air flow in a free-convection boundary layer.
