Abstract

In this paper, the heat shocks in the heat flux profile are estimated with known temperature distribution using Kalman filtering. For this task, the temperature distribution is calculated and artificial noise is added to adequately simulate the real temperature measurements. Next by using Kalman filtering, estimation of online heat flux is assessed which appears as heat shocks in the discussed problem. Results indicate that the present method can accurately estimate jumps in the heat flux.
