The conduction equation that you are using requires heat flow in one dimension, in this case in the direction from the hot surface to the cold surface. The sides of the block must be well insulated to ensure that very little of the input energy is lost from side surfaces. This is especially...

First, a correction: The tube ID is about 0.06 inch, not 0.6 inch. Comments to FredGarvin's response: (1) Cannot flush mount x-ducer. Need to keep transducer away from 460 F air stream in the final test run, the real objective of test. The tube will be cooled over more than half its...

A high-frequency response pressure transducer at one end of a 7 inch long (approx. 0.6 inch ID) tube will be used to measure static pressure pulsations in a duct of flowing air. Interest is for air at 70 F and at 460 F. The transducer end of the measurement tube has no appreciable volume...
