Theoretical predictions indicate that a pressure wave of low                    amplitude will be generated by the sudden onset of heat transfer                from a surface to a compressible fluid.  The energy exchange that               results from this thermoacoustic wave and its subsequent surface                reflections provides a mechanism for energy transport to both the               fluid and the cooled surface.  This heat transfer enhancement                   mechanism will be experimentally quantified by pressure and                     thermal measurements.                                                                                                                                           No prior experimental work has been identified on these                         enhancement phenomena.  Analytical work on this heat transfer                   enhancement indicates that the resultant energy transport will be               many times that of simple conduction.  This research seeks to                   experimentally confirm and quantify this unexplored phenomena.
