  Heat Flux Sensors: Introduction Heat flux is defined as the amount of heat transferred per unit area from or to a surface. Heat flux sensors convert the heat energy into electrical signal. These sensors are basically transducers that generate the electrical signal proportional to the total heat rate applied to the surface of the sensors. Heat flux sensors are also called heat flux gauge. It determines the total heat that is generated on the surface. During the exposure of the heat flux sensors to the heat energy, the sensor generates the electrical input that allows for the heat flux to be determined. Heat flux sensors are used in a number of applications for testing and measurement. Heat Flux Sensors Market :  Dynamics The number of applications requiring testing and measuring is boosting the heat flux sensors market. A number of R&D centers are being set up in order to look at effective thermal management where minimal material is required. Resultant errors caused by d...
