“…With this method, temperature-time curves of the probe are acquired and used to inversely calculate HTC in terms of probe surface temperature (Funatani et al, 1999). This method, called lumped heat capacity method (Sugianto et al, 2008) assumes that the thermal resistance of the probe (body) is negligible in comparison with the resistance of the surrounding environment and therefore its temperature distribution is uniform during quenching. Accordingly, it is usually required to make the probe very small, or in some cases, the probe is made of material with high thermal conductivity like silver (Sugianto et al, 2008) so that the temperature of the probe is uniform during quenching in order to calculate HTC inversely (Sedighi and McMahon, 2000).…”
