Abstract:An analysis of a circular thin-foil gage is presented that includes transient effects, convective heat transfer, and an arbitrary time-varying boundary condition at the foil edge to account for fluctuations in cooling water temperature. The governing energy equation is solved using Laplace transform to obtain the temporal and spatial temperature distributions of the foil. Under constant temperature at the foil edge and constant thermal radiative heat flux, closed-form response curves for the gage under various… Show more
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.
