- Abstract
- A new technique was developed for measuring the laminar forced-convective heat-transfer coefficient from a hot gas to a wire, even in the presence of concurrent radiant heating. The method is especially suited for applications to the moving-wire technique (MWT) for studying polymer combustion.
