Abstract
An indirect method for determining the heat transfer coefficient of rubber to air by convection is proposed. Finite element analysis is used to simula te the cooling of a cylindrical specimen of rubber, the heat transfer coeff icient being adjusted to give a good fit to experimental data provided by a thermocouple embedded in the specimen.
