An indirect method and procedure for determining the local heat transfer coefficient in experimental studies on the intensity of heat transfer at a gas–surface interface is described. The article provides an overview of modern approaches and technical devices for determining the heat flux or friction stresses on surfaces in the study of thermophysical processes. The proposed method uses a constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer and a sensor with a thread sensitive element fixed on the surface of a fluoroplastic substrate. A substrate with the sensor’s sensitive element was mounted flush with the wall of the investigated pipeline. This method is based on the Kutateladze–Leontiev approach (the laws of friction and heat transfer) and the hydrodynamic analogy of heat transfer (the Reynolds analogy): this is an assumption about the unity of momentum and heat transfer in a turbulent flow, which establishes a quantitative relationship between friction stresses on the heat exchange surface and heat transfer through this surface. The article presents a method for determining the speed of the developed measuring system. An example of a successful application of the proposed method in relation to the study of thermomechanical processes in the gas exchange systems of reciprocating internal combustion engines is described.
