- Abstract
- A new technique was developed for measuring the convective heat transfer coefficient from a hot gas to a small diameter circular cylinder in cross flow. A thermocouple is stretched taut and drawn in the direction of its axis through the gas. The measurement can be made in the presence of radiant heating.
