Determination of heat transfer coefficient of rubber to air

Abstract

An indirect method for determining the heat transfer coefficient of rubber to air by convection is proposed. Finite element analysis is used to simulate the cooling of a cylindrical specimen of rubber, the heat transfer coefficient being adjusted to give a good fit to experimental data provided by a thermocouple embedded in the specimen.
