Noninvasive monitoring of temperatures on inner surface of combustion liner of cooled combustor increases liner life, thereby increasing combustor reliability and performance. Technique used in furnaces, reactors, jet engines, rocket engines, stationary turbines, combustors, and heat exchangers. Growth of internal overheating streaks monitored using output from array of thermocouples on outside wall of combustor. Computer analysis of output indicates temperature pattern on combustor lining. Use of data enables timely liner maintenance or overhaul.
