A method of performing local transient heat flux measurements in an uncooled axisymmetric hybrid rocket nozzle is presented. Surface temperatures are collected at various axial locations during short duration tests and post processed using finite difference techniques to determine local transient heat fluxes and film coefficients. Comparisons are made between the collected data and the complete Bartz model. Although strong agreement is observed in certain sections of the nozzle, ideal steady state conditions are not observed to entirely validate the Bartz model for hybrid rocket nozzles. An experimental error analysis indicates the experimental heat fluxes are accurate within ±5.2% and supports the accuracy of the results.

Numerical simulation is used to investigate the accuracy of a direct-contact device for measuring skin-surface temperature. A variation of thermal conductivity of the foam has greater effect on the error rather than a variation of the blood perfusion rate. For a thermal conductivity of zero, an error of 1.5 oC in temperature was identified. For foam pad conductivities of 0.03 and 0.06 W/m-oC, the errors are 0.5 and 0.15 oC. For the transient study, with k=0 W/m-oC, it takes 4,900 seconds for the temperature to reach steady state compared with k=0.03 W/m-oC and k=0.06 W/m-oC where it takes 3,000 seconds. The configuration without the foam and in presence of an air gap between the skin surface and the sensor gives the most uniform temperature profile.

Le probleme etudie est celui des mesures de temperature a la surface de parois semi-transparentes: les capteurs utilises (thermocouples colles) introduisent des perturbations qui, dans le cas ou le niveau d'echange est bas, tel que celui de l'habitat, peuvent etre du meme ordre que les effets etudies. Ce travail, mene simultanement sur le plan experimental et numerique par calage de modeles, concerne donc la mesure de temperature de surface, ainsi que l'evaluation et l'interpretation des perturbations creees par les capteurs utilises. La methodologie repose sur l'analyse de situations caracterisees par des conditions aux limites en surface de complexite croissante: conduction et rayonnement infra-rouge, convection naturelle, puis rayonnement visible

A transient technique was validated for making thermal conductivity measurements. The technique incorporated a small, effectively spherical, heat source and temperature sensing probe. The actual thermal conductivity measurements lasted 30 seconds. After approximately 15 minutes of data reduction, a value for thermal conductivity was obtained. The probe yielded local thermal conductivity measurements. Spherical sample volumes less than 8 cm² were required for the materials tested. Thermal conductivity (and moisture) distributions can be measured for relatively dry or wetted samples. The technique employs an encapsulated bead thermistor. A thermistor, more commonly used as a temperature transducer, has the inherent feature of being readily self-heated. A computer-based data acquisition and control system regulates the power supplied to the thermistor such that its self-heated temperature response approximates a step change. Thermal conductivity is deduced from the transient measurement of the power dissipated by the probe as a function of time. The technique was used to measure the thermal conductivity of fifteen liquids and five insulation materials. Two different thermistor types, glass-encapsulated and Teflon-encapsulated, were evaluated. Capabilities and limitations of each probe type and the measurement technique, in general, were observed.

Shock wave interactions such as those that occur during atmospheric re-entry, can produce extreme thermal loads on aerospace structures. These interactions are reproduced experimentally in hypersonic wind tunnels to study how the flow structures relate to the deleterious heat fluxes. In these studies, localized fluid jets created by shock interactions impinge on a test cylinder, where the temperature due to the heat flux is measured. These measurements are used to estimate the heat flux on the surface as a result of the shock interactions. The nature of the incident flux usually involves dynamic transients and severe nonuniformities. Finding this boundary flux from discrete unsteady temperature measurements is characterized by instabilities in the solution. The purpose of this work is to evaluate existing methodologies for the determination of the unsteady heat flux and to introduce a new approach based on an inverse technique. The performance of these methods was measured first in terms of accuracy and their ability to handle inherently ``unstable'' or highly dynamic data such as step fluxes and high frequency oscillating fluxes. Then the method was expanded to estimate unsteady and nonuniform heat fluxes. The inverse methods proved to be the most accurate and stable of the methods examined, with the proposed method being preferable.

This work studied the hot wire method in measuring thermal conductivity at room temperature. The purpose is to find the optimized experimental conditions to minimize natural convection in liquid for this method, which will be taken as reference for high temperature thermal conductivity measurement of slag. Combining room temperature experiments and simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a, the study on different experimental parameters which may influence the accuracy of the measured thermal conductivity was conducted. The parameters studied were the diameter of crucible, the position of wire in the liquid, including z direction and x-y plane position, diameter of the hot wire, and current used in the measurement. In COMSOL simulations, the maximum natural convection velocity value was used to evaluate the natural convection in the liquid. The experiment results showed after 4~5 seconds of the measuring process, the natural convection already happened. Also when current was fixed, the thinner the hot wire, the larger convection it would cause. This is because thinner wire generates more heat per unit surface area. Using higher current in measuring, more heat generation improved accuracy of result but also had earlier and larger effect on convection. Both simulation and experiments showed that with the height of the liquid fixed, the smaller diameter of the crucible (not small to the level which is comparable with hot wire diameter), the higher the position in z direction (still covered by liquid), the less natural convection effect existed. But the difference was not significant. The radius-direction position change didn’t influence the result much as long as the wire was not too close to the wall.

The path to future aero-engines with more efficient engine architectures requires advanced thermal management technologies to handle the demand of refrigeration and lubrication. Oil systems, holding a double function as lubricant and coolant circuits, require supplemental cooling sources to the conventional fuel based cooling systems as the current oil thermal capacity becomes saturated with future engine developments. The present research focuses on air/oil coolers, which geometrical characteristics and location are designed to minimize aerodynamic effects while maximizing the thermal exchange. The heat exchangers composed of parallel fins are integrated at the inner wall of the secondary duct of a turbofan. The analysis of the interaction between the three-dimensional high velocity bypass flow and the heat exchangers is essential to evaluate and optimize the aero-thermodynamic performances, and to provide data for engine modeling. The objectives of this research are the development of engine testing methods alternative to flight testing, and the characterization of the aerothermal behavior of different finned heat exchanger configurations. A new blow-down wind tunnel test facility was specifically designed to replicate the engine bypass flow in the region of the splitter. The annular sector type test section consists on a complex 3D geometry, as a result of three dimensional numerical flow simulations. The flow evolves over the splitter duplicated at real scale, guided by helicoidally shaped lateral walls. The development of measurement techniques for the present application involved the design of instrumentation, testing procedures and data reduction methods. Detailed studies were focused on multi-hole and fine wire thermocouple probes. Two types of test campaigns were performed dedicated to: flow measurements along the test section for different test configurations, i.e. in the absence of heat exchangers and in the presence of different heat exchanger geometries, and heat transfer measurements on the heat exchanger. As a result contours of flow velocity, angular distributions, total and static pressures, temperatures and turbulence intensities, at different bypass duct axial positions, as well as wall pressures along the test section, were obtained. The analysis of the flow development along the test section allowed the understanding of the different flow behaviors for each test configuration. Comparison of flow variables at each measurement plane permitted quantifying and contrasting the different flow disturbances. Detailed analyses of the flow downstream of the heat exchangers were assessed to characterize the flow in the fins¿ wake region. The aerodynamic performance of each heat exchanger configuration was evaluated in terms of non dimensional pressure losses. Fins convective heat transfer characteristics were derived from the infrared fin surface temperature measurements through a new methodology based on inverse heat transfer methods coupled with conductive heat flux models. The experimental characterization permitted to evaluate the cooling capacity of the investigated type of heat exchangers for the design operational conditions. Finally, the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger at different points of the flight envelope during a typical commercial mission was estimated by extrapolating the convective properties of the flow to flight conditions.

Les fours de maintien à induction sous vide sont utilisés pour la fabrication d'aubes de turbine à l'aide du procédé de fonderie à cire perdue. La maîtrise de la thermique de ce dernier est primordiale afin d'assurer la qualité de la production. Ce travail est composé de 3 grandes parties : la modélisation détaillée du four, la modélisation réduite et l'expérience. Un four axisymétrique et sa charge ont été modélisés numériquement à l'aide des logiciels FlexPDE et COMSOL Multiphysics. Ces modèles utilisent en entrée la puissance consommée par les inducteurs et fournissent en sortie la température en tout point du module de chauffe et de la charge. Les modèles réduits étudiés sont des modèles physiques dit convolutifs (enthalpique (0D), analytique de dimension 1 (1D)) et paramétrique de type AutoRégressifs avec variables eXogènes (ARX). Les modèles ARX ont été comparés aux modèles convolutifs (procédures d'identification, puis de validation, de modèles). L'objectif est d'accéder à des températures en certains points du four sans présence d'un capteur physique local (capteur virtuel). Les modélisations détaillées et réduites ont été comparées à des expériences réalisées sur four de production. Cette dernière partie n'est pas décrite dans ce mémoire
Vacuum holding induction furnaces are used for the manufacturing of turbine blades by loss wax foundry process. Heat transfer control in a holding furnace is crucial to ensure the quality of manufacturing. This work has 3 major parts, which are the detailed modelling, reduced modelling and experiments. An axyisymmetric furnace and its load have been numerically modelled using FlexPDE and COMSOL Multiphysics, finite element codes. Modelling takes as inputs the electric power consumed by inductors and gives the temperature field in the heating module. The studied reduced models are phyisical convolutive models (enthalpic (0D), 1 dimension analytical (1D)) and parametric like AutoRegressive with eXogeneous inputs (ARX). ARX models have been compared to convolutive models (identification, validation). The goal is to get temperatures in the heating module without local presence of physical sensors (virtual sensor). Detailed and reduced models have been compared to experiments on the furnace. This last part is not described in this document

A steady state, axial flow thermal conductivity test apparatus was designed and constructed to operate between room temperature and approximately 4 Kelvin, and to be compatible with existing electronic instrumentation and a continuous flow cryostat. The test design included a radiation shield that had its temperature profile matched to that of the sample to minimize radiation heat transfer losses. The cryostat was used to provide the controllable, low temperature test environment in which the test apparatus would operate. A special wiring bundle was constructed to ensure proper connection of the test device to the required electronic instrumentation, which was controlled from a computer by custom written software. Once assembled, the thermal conductivity of a high purity copper sample was measured over the temperature range from 45 to 300 Kelvin and compared to literature recommended values. The test was performed a second time to check repeatability of the measurements over a range of temperature. Next, the thermal conductivity of a high purity niobium sample was measured and compared to literature recommended values. This test was also performed twice. When completed, these tests had demonstrated the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement of thermal conductivity by the test apparatus over the range of temperatures specified and over a range of conductivities. Finally, the thermal conductivity of a sample of the bulk metallic glass Vitreloy 1 was measured over the same temperature range. As far as was known, this was the first time the thermal conductivity of this particular material had been tested below 400 Kelvin.

Ac calorimetric method is a popular method for measuring thermal diffusivity. The measuring theory is based on classical diffusion model. However, it has been pointed that diffusion mosel is not valid for rapid or high frequency heating sources. This study analyzes the two dimensional heat transport for a two-layered slab subjected to periodic heating source in a finite region of the upper layer so as to investigate the effect of heat conduction model on accuracy of the measurement of thermal diffusivity by Ac calorimetric method. The effect of parameters on both amplitude and phase of the temperature is discussed in terms of ratio of delay times (B). On accuracy for measuring thermal diffusivity, results show that the measurement based on temperature amplitude is better than that based on temperature phase.

This thesis presents a computational analysis of multi-element guard-heated sensors designed to overcome the most severe limitation of conventional thermal sensors for wall shear stress (WSS) measurement in turbulent flows –that of indirect heat conduction through the substrate. The objectives of this thesis are the study of guard-heated sensors {i} to quantify the reduction, over conventional single-element sensors, of substrate heat conduction losses and resultant errors over a range of applied shear and {ii} to examine a range of values of guard heater geometric parameters, in two common fluids, air and water and identify the best designs. Wall-turbulence, the turbulent flow in the vicinity of solid boundaries, has proved difficult to model accurately, due to the lack of accurate WSS measurements. Examples of areas of impact are drag force reduction on transport vehicles in land, sea, air, which today largely translate to reduced fossil fuel use and dependence; aerodynamic noise and control for flight and for wind energy conversion; atmospheric and oceanic transport studies for weather, climate and for pollutant transport; riverbank erosion. Constant-temperature anemometry with MEMS devices, flush-mounted hot-film thermal sensors, is non-intrusive, affords the best temporal resolution and is well-established. However, these hot-film probes suffer from unwanted heat transport to the fluid through the substrate, with errors and nonlinearity large enough to overwhelm quantitative utility of the data. Microfabrication techniques have enabled multi-element guard-heated prototypes to be fabricated. Our results show that errors in sensing-element signals, contributing to spectral distortion, are sensitive to sensor location within the guard heater. These errors can be reduced to below 1% of the signal with proper location of the sensor. Guard heating also reduces the large variation in spatial averaging due to substrate conduction. This makes them suitable for turbulent flows with a large range of fluctuations.
