Thermal Contact Conductance

The work covers boththeoretical and practical aspects of thermal contact conductance. The theoretical discussionfocuses onheat transfer through spots, joints, and surfaces, as well as the role of interstitial materials (both planned and inadvertent). The practical discussion includes formulae and data that can be used in designing heat-transfer equipment for a variety of joints, including special geometries and configurations. All of the material has been updated to reflect the latest advances in the field.
