...T. C. Tszeng; G. F. Zhou The present paper addresses the measurement errors in temperature due to the effects of surface-mounted temperature sensors like thermocouples. Heat conduction into or from the installed thermocouple wires can alter the temperature at the thermocouple junction as well...

... information on the functional form of the unknown wall heat flux is needed in the inverse method. The effects of the functional form of the wall heat flux, the number of the measurement points, and the measurement errors on the accuracy of the estimation are investigated. It is shown that the reconstruction...
