P. Benigni et al., High temperature contact conductance measurement across cylindrical joint by the periodic method: feasibility and first results, INT J HEAT, 43(23), 2000, pp. 4217-4227
This paper deals with the possibility and the first measurements of thermal
contact conductance of cylindrical joints by the periodic method at high t
emperature. The mathematical principle is presented. The calibration of the
method is performed on a composite nickel/nickel cylinder, the interface o
f which has a controlled macroroughness. The experimental results are compa
red with the results of a geometric conductance model. A good agreement is
observed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
