Abstract: A fast-response probe for the measurement of total temperature in unsteady or fluctuating compressible flows is discussed. The operation of the device is based on the measurement of transient ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the operation of a fast-response total temperature probe based on transient thin film heat flux gage technology. The probe utilizes two thin film gages located close to ...

Abstract: A new probe technique is introduced for the measurement of concentration in binary gas flows. The new technique is demonstrated through application of the probe in a Mach 4 nonreacting jet ...

Abstract: An experimental technique for the measurement of flow total temperature in a turbine facility is demonstrated. Two thin film heat transfer gases located at the stagnation point of fused quartz ...

Abstract: New techniques for the direct measurement of skin friction using nematic liquid crystal layers are demonstrated. Skin friction measurements can be made using a molecular rotation time technique ...
