The unsteady heat flux from a non-reacting gas to the sidewalls of a channel has been determined during the piston compression of a single stroke. For small changes in the wall temperature, the heat flux may'be determined solely from the va.riation of the temperature outside the boundary layer or, alternatively, from the piston trajectory. Results for the heat transfer coefficient are also presented and exhibit a non-monotonic variation with respect to time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
