SIMULATION OF THE HEAT TRANSFER FROM A LINEAR PULSED-HEAT SOURCE IN THERMOPHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS
N. P. Zhukov UDC 53.08.001.57 The process of heat transfer from a linear pulsed-heat source in a semibounded body has been investigated. A nondestructive method of determining the thermophysical parameters of a material by the working portion of its thermogram, which allows one to substantially decrease the measurement error, has been developed. Since the model developed is linear by the parameters used, it allows one to estimate, using classical statistical methods, the random error in measuring the thermophysical parameters of materials.
