Experimental Procedure: •Blower is set appropriately for required jet Reynolds number •Heater is turned on and allowed to reach steady state •A picture is taken of the liquid crystal coated test plate and heater amperage and voltage measured •Heater power is incrementally increased and additional pictures taken to capture temperature and heater flux data at every point in the array •Pictures are converted to Hue and liquid crystal calibration curve used to determine temperature at corresponding point
