Abstract
Temperature sensors particularly suitable for high temperature heat flux measurements across the thickness of a component, for example a turbine blade. The sensors comprise one or more conductive traces that wrap around an edge of the component, thereby connecting one or more hot junctions on the hot side of the component to the cold junction contacts on the colder side of the component. In some embodiments the traces comprise two dissimilar materials, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and platinum. Alternatively, if the component is electrically conductive, the component itself can form one thermoelement of the sensor.
