Abstract

The coefficients of heat conductivityk and of specific heatc p have been determined as parameters of a system of differential equations of balance and boundary conditions. The values of the coefficientsk andc p are obtained by solving the inverse convection problem. The inverse convection problem includes a system of differential equations resulting from the mass, momentum and energy balances, the boundary conditions and an additional condition consisting of satisfying the postulate of the minimum squares of differences of the temperatures computed numerically and those measured at given points in the measurement tube.

Zusammenfassung

Die Koeffizientenk undc p der Wärmeleitfähigkeit und der spezifischen Wärmekapazität wurden als Parameter eines Systems von Differenzialgleichungen bestimmt, und zwar durch Lösung des inversen Wärmeleitungs-problems. Neben der Erhaltungssätzen für Masse, Impuls und Energie sowie den Randbedingungen geht das Prinzip der kleinsten Quadrate bezüglich der Temperaturdifferenz aus Berechnungs- und Meßwerten (an bestimmten Punkten des Versuchsrohres) in das Auswerteschema ein.
