HeaterGeometry structure
This type contains the information about the geometry of the heater use to excite the films, where HeaterGeometry <: HeaterInformation
. The method considers a planar geometry of the heater with defined width and length. To construct with this structure type
HeaterGeometry(b, l, Rh)
b::Float64
is the heater half-width, in units of meter. The half-width appears naturally in the theory so it is a characteristic parameter instead of the width itself.
l::Float64
is the length of the heater, in units of meter. The length is defined, independently of the number of probes in the system, the distance between the pads used to measure the voltage drop, not those to drive the electrical current.
Rh::Array{Float64}
are the two heater thermal resistances. For convenience were introduced here, although they are not really a geometry feature. This parameter takes and array of two floats where the first one is the Rh
defined in Eq. 58 in the https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.00571, and the second goes in the denominator multiplying ρh*ch*dh
.
