- Abstract
- A two-dimensional, finite-difference model was developed to calculate the flanking loss for the NBS Calibrated Hot Box. A new definition of flanking loss is presented, along with the thermal theory, a description of the computer code and some results. This model applies to both steady-state and dynamic boundary conditions.
