Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to calculate the temperature near the roof of combustion chamber based on thermocouple reading which is located at nine o'clock position. Tip of measuring device is located 49 mm from the surface of hot face material. Please find the picture attached.

Does anyone can advise me on how to proceed with the calculation? I assume that convection is the main heat transfer mechanism which should be considered here.

Hello, and :welcome: !

No replies so far, which doesn't surprise me: post and picture provide far too little information.

What is it we are looking at?
Where are heat sources and sinks?

When I look at the picture ( a cross section at some point somewhere?), the first thing that comes to mind is: how accurate can this 1623 be ? And that the inaccuracy of that measurement may well be a lot bigger than the temperature difference between side and roof.

Sorry to come up with such a pessimistic reply :confused:
