Experimental data on the nonstationary heat exchange under 
a controlled heat load are presented. Investigations were carried 
out with cut plates specially formed to shape, on which the distribution 
of the heat-flow density is near-exponential (from the periphery to 
the center). Empirical dependences of the critical density of a heat 
flow and the heat-transfer coefficient on the rate of heating have 
been obtained.
