Experimental and numerical study on transient heat transfer for helium gas flowing over a flat plate containing an exponentially increasing heat source

This study is aimed to obtain fundamental data of transient heat transfer and clarify transient heat transfer process between the surface of solid and the neighboring helium gas in Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR). Such studies are important for both of the academic knowledge on the complex tran...
