| dc.description.abstract | <p> The objective of this investigation was to examine the potential of the point heat-flux meter in studying the dynamic heat transfer process in a scraped-surface heat exchanger.</p> <p> The heat-flux meters were an integral part of the copper heat exchanger which was steam-heated. Water was passed through the equipment as a thin film. The steam condensate was collected for measurement.</p> <p> Mathematical analysis related the transient differential temperature of the detector with the transient applied heat flux. A mathematical model was found that would estimate the instantaneous heat flux from the heat-flux-meter experimental temperature difference.</p> <p> Instantaneous and time-average local heat fluxes were measured by the heat-flux meter and the condensate respectively. The meter accuracy was -7000 Btu/hr sq ft.</p> <p> The heat-flux meter can be used in studying dynamic heat transfer processes.</p> | en_US |
