Thermal heterogeneities within energy conversion and storage, material processing, nuclear
processes, aerospace, and military applications are often inaccessible to characterization by …

In extreme environments, even hardened insertion sensors fail quickly. For such
environments, we have developed an ultrasonic (US) method for measuring the spatial …

The most hardened insertion sensors do not perform reliably in extreme environmental
conditions. We address this problem by developing an ultrasonic thermometry system for the …

The disclosure relates to a method for determining a tem perature in a pressurized flow path
of a gas turbine com prising the steps of sending an acoustic signal from an acoustic signal …

Extreme environmental conditions are common in energy conversion applications, in which
the most hardened insertion sensors often do not perform reliably for long. On the other …

Extreme conditions are common in energy conversion, material processing, nuclear,
airspace, and military applications. In such environments, the most hardened insertion …

Temperature distribution in solids can be inverted from the speed of sound (SOS)
measurements, as has been shown feasible by timing the propagation of the excitation …

A system including a thermal sensor with an instrument placed in a volume. The thermal
sensor may be useful in determining a temperature at a surface of the instrument and a …
