Modeling of the polymerization process of the insulating layer of cable thermocouples

Abstract

A mathematical model describing the main physical processes occurring during thermal processing of cable thermocouples (CT) during their production is presented. The polymerization of the insulating layer is taken into account in the conditions of its intense heating. The developed mathematical model allows to carry out calculations of heat transfer processes under the conditions of substantial heterogeneity of cable thermocouple structure. The computational experiments carried out have established significant differences in the characteristics of heat transfer in CT in the presence of thermoelectrodes with differing thermophysical characteristics.
