Gs. Spagnolo et al., Electronic speckle pattern shearing interferometry for determining free convection heat transfer coefficient, EPJ-APPL PH, 6(3), 1999, pp. 281-284
An electronic speckle-pattern shearing interferometer (ESPSI) is proposed f
or measuring the free convection heat transfer coefficient in liquids. The
heat transfer coefficient may be deduced by a simple manipulation of the sp
eckle patterns. Theory of the method as well as its application are present
ed. The method is robust and easy to use for non-skilled operators.
