A STANDARD DEVICE FOR CALIBRATING CALORIMETER TEST ROOMS: PROTOTYPE HEATMETER DEVICE.

Author(s) : BECK B. T., JONES B. W., MIANDOAB F. H.

Summary

MEASUREMENT OF THE COOLING CAPACITY OF THE STANDARD DEVICE DEVELOPED FOR CALIBRATINGCALORIMETER TEST ROOMS REQUIRES ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF THE HEAT FLOW RATE TO THE CIRCULATING COOLANT. CONVENTIONAL METHODS INVOLVE SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF MASS FLOW RATE AND TEMPERATURE CHANGE, AS WELL AS DETAILED FLUID PROPERTY INFORMATION. THE HEATMETER REPRESENTS AN ALTERNATIVE ; IT IS ACTUALLY A SPECIAL-PURPOSE TYPE OF FLUID-TO-FLUID HEAT EXCHANGER. THE MEASURED PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN APPROXIMATELY ONE-TENTH-SCALE PROTOTYPE DEVICE ARE PRESENTED, ALONG WITH A DISCUSSION OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE RESULTS ON THE DESIGN OF THE FULL-SCALE HEATMETER.
