| Abstract Scope |
In order to be able to assess the rate of heat transfer between a new anode and an anode butt, it is critical to measure the interface thermal contact resistance between them.
For that purpose, a lab experiment has been setup and tests have been carried out to record the thermal response of the system after a cold anode block is put in contact with a hot anode block.
Finally, a model of the same system has been developed in order to identify the value of the thermal contact resistance that permit to reproduce the thermal experimental thermal response. |
