Measurements of Local Instantaneous Convective Heat Transfer in a Pipe – Single and Two-phase Flow

The overall goal of this experimental procedure is to present a thermography technique, that utilizes a well designed test section to accurately measure the local instantaneous convective heat transfer coefficients, in a single or two phase pipe flow. This method can help answer key outstanding questions in transient convective heat transfer, in single and multi phase flows. The main advantage of this technique, is that it's non invasive and can measure fast variations in wall temperature, resulting from time dependent flows.

Demonstrating this procedure will be Avram Balas, and Yakov Levi, technicians from our laboratory. Begin with a segment of pipe 70 centimeters long or more. It's diameter and wall thickness, should match the pipe of the experimental facility.
