A constant temperature anemometer, utilizing quartz coated hot
film probes, was used to measure velocities from .1 to 5 cm/sec.
The effects on anemometer performance due to time, reimmersion,
and metallic sensor coatings were examinated by repeated calibrations
of the probes. Contrary to previous published results, calibration
change due to...
Heat transfer from a vertical flat plate in an infinite pool of
mercury was investigated. Velocity profiles were measured with a
hot-film anemometer and simultaneous temperature profiles measured
with thermocouples in this low Prandtl number liquid metal. Constant
heat flux plates at Grashof numbers of 9 x 10⁸ and 4...
