Abstract

Platinum thin film gauges (PTFGs) measure heat fluxes in the applications involving very short duration of the heating environment. Heat transfer measurement is the frequently used technique for measuring the surface heat flux using thin film gauges. The present investigation has been focused on the design and manufacturing methods for heat transfer gauge, their stability, and dynamic calibrations in certain situations where the heat load suddenly build up. PTFGs measure heat fluxes in heating environments applications during the very duration. The measurement for heat transfer is a technique used often with thin film gauges to measure the surface heat flux. The convection devices are regarded as the best measuring units in short-term transient temperature measurement applications and are usually used when the heat transfer mode is dominant means gas turbine engines, high speed aircraft, etc. In addition to that, there are many difficulties incurred for convection based measurement practically and few interdisciplinary research fields. A convective heat load is provided with a hot air gun to get the temperature signal. By using thin film gauge through present investigations, it is very ambitious to explore the possibility of short term conduction based transient measurements with pure conduction heat transfer mode. A simple experimental set up is used to supply the thin film gauges with heat flux, which is manually manufactured with platinum as a sensing material and quartz as a substrate material. The body's nose tip to high speed flow is expected to be the maximum heat transfer at the stagnation point. The stagnation point probes are fabricated for PTFGs, and baking material is quartz. The recorded temperature histories are compared with the experimentally recorded temperature signals from the gauges through the finite element method. The heat flux forecast was configured by using the one dimension thermal conduction equation convolution integral and by comparison with the heat input loads. This study reveals the ability of PTFGs to be used for a short period.
