Temperature Oscillation Infra-Red Thermography (TOIRT) method was used to measure heat transfer coefficients between a at surface and a confined impinging jet generated by an impeller in a difusor and baffled vessel. The TOIRT method is based on measuring a phase-lag between the oscillating heat flux applied to the heat transfer surface and the surface temperature response using a contactless infra-red camera. The phase lag is in a direct relationship with the heat transfer coefficient.
