  • Publication number: 20240118225
    Abstract: Computer implemented method for determining boundary thermal resistance data (Rbl) of a boundary layer (15), comprising the following steps: obtaining first temperature data (T1) from a first temperature sensor (13), which is arranged at a first pipe section (S1); obtaining second temperature data (T2) from a second temperature sensor (14), which is arranged at a second pipe section (S2); wherein the first temperature sensor (13) and the second temperature sensor (14) are non-invasive temperature sensors; providing process condition data (P); determining boundary thermal resistance data (Rbl) of a boundary layer (15) of the fluid (11) next to an inner surface (16) of the wall of the pipe (12) based on the process condition data (P) and/or based on the first temperature data (T1) and/or the second temperature data (T2).

  • Publication number: 20230314241
    Abstract: A method for validating an invasive temperature measurement system includes providing a first temperature data of the invasive temperature measurement system of a medium, the medium surrounded by a vessel wall enclosing the medium; providing a second temperature data of a non-invasive temperature measurement system, the non-invasive temperature measurement system thermally contacting an outside surface of the vessel wall enclosing the medium; determining a temperature of the medium based on the second temperature data medium properties and properties of the vessel wall; and comparing the first temperature data with the determined temperature of the medium to validate the invasive temperature measurement system.
