Inverse determination of local heat transfer coefficients
JAN TALER
Abstract
Two methods for the solution of the nonlinear inverse heat conduction problem encountered in the experimental determination of the local heat transfer coefficient distributions are presented in the paper. 'The methods are formulated as linear and nonlinear least-squares problems. The uncertainties in the estimated heat transfer coefficients are determined for the temperature measurements with known and unknown standard deviations. The main advantage of the presented methods is that they do not require any knowledge, or solution to, the complex fluid flow field.
