The time and space development of the fluid bulk temperature in a transient heat transfer experiment for internal channel cooling investigations using heater foils is addressed. An analytical solution for uniform heat transfer coefficients is derived which shows the effect of wall heating on the bulk temperature during a transient test run. A simplified model is proposed for characterizing the bulk temperature development by introducing an upstream heat transfer parameter. With this, analytical solutions for the local wall temperature history can be derived. The presented solution can be used for data reduction of transient tests of this kind.
