A.2.9 Transient Heat Exchange The discussions <strong>of</strong> the three types <strong>of</strong> heat<br />

exchange in sections A.2.4, A.2.5, and A.2.6 deal with steady-state heat<br />

exchange for reasons <strong>of</strong> simplicity and easier understanding. Two fixed<br />

temperatures are assumed to exist at the two points between which the heat<br />

flows. In many applications, however, temperatures are in transition, so that<br />

the values shown for energy radiated from a target surface are the<br />

instantaneous values from the moment that measurements are made. There<br />

are numerous instances where existing transient thermal conditions are<br />

exploited in order to use thermography to reveal material or structural<br />

characteristics in test articles.<br />
