National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Experimental Verification of the Analysis and Computer Programs Concerning Heat Transfer Through Semitransparent Materials.

AD468746

Publication Date	1965
Personal Author	Finch, H.; Moeller, C. E.; Noland, M.
Page Count	74
Abstract	An experimental and analytical evaluation of the theory and computer programs concerning heat transfer through semitransparent materials which was developed uncer Contract AF 33(657)-9138. Experimental investigations of the heat transfer through 96% silica glass and aluminosilicate glass were conducted for glaze temperatures to 1000 F. Similar data were produced for the same materials with tin oxide or gold films on one or both sides of the specimens. The experimental, empirical, and analytical tests conducted to evaluate the computer program led to the conclusion that the program in its present form does not yield realistic results and thus is not a satisfactory tool for the computation of heat fluxes or temperature distributions in semitransparent materials. Recommendations for future research are based upon a belief that the theory is sound and that, despite the computer program difficulties, the program can be made into an important tool for the design of advanced systems.
