They are widely used for heat transfer measurements in transient facilities, and researchers have also considered their use for long-duration heat transfer measurements. However, the model thickness, transverse heat transfer, and changes in the physical parameters of the materials with increasing temperature influence the accuracy of heat transfer measurements. A numerical analysis of coaxial thermocouples is conducted to determine the above influences on the measurement deviation. The minimum deviation is obtained if the thermal effusivity of chromel that changes with the surface temperature is used to derive the heat flux from the surface temperature. The deviation of the heat flux is less than 5.5% when the Fourier number is smaller than 0.255 and 10% when the Fourier number is smaller than 0.520. The results provide guidance for the design of test models and coaxial thermocouples in long-duration heat transfer measurements. The numerical calculation results are verified by a laser radiation heating experiment, and heat transfer measurements using coaxial thermocouples in an arc tunnel with a test time of several seconds are performed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20185254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,14]],"date-time":"2020-09-14T20:51:12Z","timestamp":1600116672000},"page":"5254","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Coaxial Thermocouples for Heat Transfer Measurements in Long-Duration High Enthalpy Flows"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1049-9434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shizhong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of High Temperature Gas Dynamics, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0084-9819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of High Temperature Gas Dynamics, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinping","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of High Temperature Gas Dynamics, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of High Temperature Gas Dynamics, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of High Temperature Gas Dynamics, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Engineering Science, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"96","DOI":"10.2514\/1.11300","article-title":"Transpiration cooling experiment for scramjet engine combustion chamber by high heat fluxes","volume":"22","author":"Song","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
