METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING HEAT FLUX

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus to determine calorie consumption of an object by measuring a heat flux. SOLUTION: The method and the apparatus are to measure the heat flux accompanying convection current, thermal conduction, radiation, and evaporation. A heat conductive covering material is used for measuring heat loss by evaporation. The surface of a heat flux sensor is covered with a film of this material. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
