Abstract

A heat flux meter determines the heat transfer characteristics prior to processing or during steady-state autoclave heating conditions utilizing a monitoring element selected-thereof such that lumped heat transfer analysis is applicable thereto. During the curing process of a material, the heat flux meter calculates the instantaneous convection film coefficient for a particular location and determines the total present heat flux to an object.
