Space Engineering - Thermal design handbook - Part 4: Conductive Heat Transfer

Scope

This Part 4 of the spacecraft thermal control and design data handbooks, provides information on calculating the conductive heat transfer rate for a variety of two and three-dimensional configurations.
Calculations for the conductance of the interface between two surfaces (joints) require special consideration and are included as a separate clause.
