Surface Imaging of Temperature -- Research Method of Heat Transfer.

The method does not differ in difficulty from the standard surface temperature imaging method, which is its unquestionable advantage. The disadvantage is the need to use test models made of materials transmitting visible light in the full range (blue light for excitation and red as a recorded result), which, with more complex shapes, makes the model more expensive. Nevertheless, the presented method is a valuable supplement to the set of methods and techniques used so far for imaging temperature fields and estimating the heat flux in the steady state.
