ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF THE TEMPERATURE FIELD ON THE SURFACE OF WALL HEATING PANELS

ABSTRACT
This paper presents experimental verification of the accuracy and acceptability of Faxen-Rydberg-Huber analytical expression for determining thermal characteristics of the heating panels. The verification of accuracy of the Faxen-Rydberg-Huber expression, which describes the two-dimensional temperature field in the wall with series of embedded heated pipes having uniform temperature, was performed by comparing the temperatures on the surface of three types of heating wall panels, differing in structure and geometric characteristics. The analysis of results has shown high accuracy of Faxen-Rydberg-Huber expression in describing the temperature field. Also, it was noted that small changes in heating fluid temperature, occurring along the pipe in the heated panel, have a negligible influence on the accuracy of prediction by the expression. This confirmed that the Faxen-Rydberg-Huber expression can be used to describe the temperature field in the wall heating panels. At the same time, this expression has proven to be extremely sensitive primarily to thermophysical characteristics of the panel layers, as well as to the geometric parameters of the panels.
