FLOW VISUALIZATION AND CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER MEASUREMENTS BY MEANS OF INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

Abstract

The good results obtained in the last decade by the widespread use of the infrared scanning radiometer (IRSR) in experimental studies of convective heat transfer problems have proved the IRSR to be an effective tool in overcoming several limitations of the standard sensors originating both from the measurement and the visualization techniques.
