✦ Synopsis

Surface heat transfer coefficient values were measured for polycrystalline alumina quenched into water, into oil, and into liquid nitrogen. Since the measurements of the surface heat transfer coefficient h for alumina (and ceramics in general) are very limited, we compare our measurements with calculations of h for the water quench and with measurements of h on non-ceramic materials for the oil and liquid nitrogen quenches.
