History of Test Method4.1 From literature reviews it appears that Masters and Stein(1)3were the first to document the results of an analytical studyof the temperature effects of axial cavities drilled from thebackside o
16、f a wall which is heated on the front surface (see Fig.1). These investigators were primarily concerned with thedeviation of the temperature measured in the bottom of thecavity from the undisturbed temperature on the heated surface.Since they were not in possession of either the computingpower or th
17、e numerical heat conduction codes now available tothe analyst, Masters and Stein performed a rigorous math-ematical treatment of the deviation of the transient tempera-ture, Tb, on the bottom centerline of the cavity of radius, a, andthickness, b, from the surface temperature Ts. The results ofMaste
18、rs and Stein indicated that the error in temperaturemeasurement on the bottom centerline of the cavity woulddecrease with increasing values of a/b and also decrease withincreasing values of the dimensionless time, at/b2, where a isthe thermal diffusity of the wall material. They also concludedthat t
19、he most important factor in the error in temperaturemeasurement was the ratio a/band the error was independent ofthe level of heat flux. The conclusions of Masters and Steinmay appear to be somewhat elementary compared with ourknowledge of the null-point concept today. However, theidentification and
20、 documentation of the measurement conceptwas a major step in leading others to adapt this concept to thetransient measurement of high heat fluxes in ground testfacilities.4.2 Beck and Hurwicz (2) expanded the analysis of Mastersand Stein to include steady-state solutions and were the first tolabel t
21、he method of measurement “the null-point concept.”They effectively used a digital computer to generate relativelylarge quantities of analytical data from numerical methods.Beck and Hurwicz computed errors due to relatively largethermocouple wires in the axial cavity and were able to suggestthat the
22、optimum placement of the thermocouple in the cavityoccurred when the ratio a/b was equal to 1.1. However, theiranalysis like that of Masters and Stein was only concerned withthe deviation of the temperature in the axial cavity and did notaddress the error in measured heat flux.4.3 Howey and DiCristi
23、na (3) were the first to perform anactual thermal analysis of this measurement concept. Althoughthe explanation of modeling techniques is somewhat ambigu-ous in their paper, it is obvious that they used a finite element,two dimensional axisymmetric model to produce temperatureprofiles in a geometry
24、simulating the null-point calorimeter.Temperature histories at time intervals down to 0.010 sec wereobtained for a high heat-flux level on the surface of theanalytical model.

These in-clude: (1) “., thermocouple outputs can yield deceivingly fastresponse rates and erroneously high heating rates ( + 18 %)whe

28、 are defined in 4.1 and are used throughout thisdocument.) (3) A finite length null-point calorimeter body maybe considered semi-infinite for:at!L2#0.34.4 Powars, Kennedy, and Rindal (4 and 5) were the first todocument using null point calorimeters in the swept mode.This method which is now used in
29、almost all arc facilities hasthe advantages of (1) measuring the radial distributions acrossthe arc jet, and (2) preserving the probe/sensor structuralintegrity for repeated measurements. This technique involvessweeping the probe/sensor through the arc-heated flow field ata rate slow enough to allow
30、 the sensor to make accuratemeasurements, yet fast enough to prevent model ablation.4.4.1 Following the pattern of Howey and DiCristina,Powars et. al. stressed the importance of performing thermalanalyses to “characterize the response of a typical real nullpoint calorimeter to individually assess a
31、variety of potentialerrors, .”. Powars et. al. complain that Howey a/b = 2.4, the calculatedheat flux will be 20 % higher than the actual heat flux. In morerecent documentation using more accurate and sophisticatedheat conduction computer codes as well as an establishednumerical inverse heat conduct
32、ion equation (6), the error inindicated heat flux is shown to be considerably higher than20 % and is highly time dependent.4.5 The latest and most comprehensive thermal analysis ofthe null-point calorimeter concept was performed by Kidd anddocumented in Refs (6 and 7). This analytical work wasaccomp
33、lished by using a finite element axisymmetric heatconduction code (7). The finite element model simulating thenull-point calorimeter system is comprised of 793 finite ele-ments and 879 nodal points and is shown in block diagramform in Fig. 2. Timewise results of normalized heat flux fordifferent phy
34、sical dimensional parameters (ratios of a to b) aregraphically illustrated on Figs. 3 and 4. The optimum value ofthe ratio a/b is defined to be that number which yields thefastest time response to a step heat-flux input and maintains aconstant value of indicated q/input q after the initial timerespo
35、nse period. From Figs. 3 and 4, it can be seen that thisoptimum value is about 1.4 for two families of curves forwhich the cavity radius, a, is held constant while the cavitythickness, b, is varied to span a wide range of the ratio a/b. Thisis a slightly higher value than reported by earlier analyst
36、s. It isimportant to note that the analytical results do not necessarilyhave to give a value of indicated q/input q = 1.0 since thisdifference can be calibrated in the laboratory. The data graphi-cally illustrated on Figs. 3 and 4 and substantiate conclusionsdrawn by the authors of Refs (3 nd 4) tha
37、t the calculated heatflux can be considerably higher than the actual input heatfluxespecially as the ratio of a/b is raised consistently above1.5. All of the users of null-point calorimeters assume that thedevice simulates a semi-infinite body in the time period ofinterest. Therefore, the sensor is
38、subject to the finite bodylength, L, defined by L/(at)1/2# 1.8 in order that the error inindicated heat flux does not exceed one percent (6 and 7). Thisrestriction agrees well with the earlier work of Howey andDiCristina (3).4.6 A section view sketch of a typical null-point calorimetershowing all im
39、portant components and the physical configu-ration of the sensor is shown in Fig. 5. The outside diameter is2.36 mm (0.093 in.), the length is 10.2 mm (0.40 in.), and thebody material is oxygen-free high conductivity (OFHC) cop-per. Temperature at the null point is measured by a 0.508 mm(0.020 in.)

Although nothermocouple attachment is shown, it is assumed that theindividual thermocouple wires are in perfect contact with thebackside of the cavity and pre
41、sent no added thermal mass to thesystem. Details of installing thermocouples in the null pointcavity and making a proper attachment of the thermocouplewith the copper slug are generally considered to be proprietaryby the sensor manufacturers. Kidd in Ref (7) states that theattachment is made by ther
42、mal fusion without the addition offoreign materials. Note that the null-point body has a smallflange at the front and back which creates an effective dead airspace along the length of the cylinder to enhance one-dimensional heat conduction and prevent radial conduction.For aerodynamic heat-transfer
43、measurements, the null-pointsensors are generally pressed into the stagnation position of asphere cone model of the same material (OFHC copper).4.7 The value of the lumped thermal parameter of copper isnot a strong function of temperature. In fact, the value of(rCpk)1/2for OFHC copper varies less th

Thermal properties of OFHC copper are well docu-mented and data from different sources are in good agreement(8).

Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this test method is to measure extremelyhigh heat-transfer rates to a body immersed in either a staticenvironment or in a high velocity fluid stream. This is usuallyaccomplished while preserving the structural integrity of themea
48、surement device for multiple exposures during the mea-surement period. Heat-transfer rates ranging up to 2.84 3 102MW/m2(2.5 3 104Btu/ft2-sec) (7) have been measured usingnull-point calorimeters. Use of copper null-point calorimetersprovides a measuring system with good response time andmaximum run

Null-pointcalorimeters are normally made with sensor body diameters of2.36 mm (0.093 in.) press-fitted into the nose of an axisym-metric model.5.2 Sources of error involving the null-point calorimeter inhigh heat-flux measurement applications are extensively dis-cussed in Refs (3-7). In particular, it has been shown bothanalytically and experimentally that the thickness of the copperabove the null-point cavity is critical. If the thickness is toogreat, the time response of the instrument will not be fastFIG. 4 Null-Point Calorim
