Abstract

The technology of heat flux measuring with the use of gradient-type sensors, which are based on natural anisotropic monocrystals and composites (heterogeneous media) containing layers of metals, alloys, and semiconductors, is described. It is found that the time constant of such sensors is from 10−8 to 10−9 s. The problems and prospects of using gradient calorimetry in thermal-engineering experiments and engineering practice are discussed.
