Heat Flux

Review of Heat Flux Measurements for High Enthalpy Flows

“…The surface temperature is not a measure of the energy being dissipated to the material, but the result of this energy dissipation. A good example to understand these processes is given by Diller: 21 The surface temperature of the human skin indicates the comfort level of the person. But the skin temperature depends for example on the wind chill factor, which describes the effect and the importance of convection heat transfer in addition to the air temperature.…”
