Abstract: | The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of contact thermal resistances of stainless steel and molybdenum samples for the range of compressive loads between 1.5 and 58 · 10–5 N/m2 and for an absolute pressure of the surrounding medium of 10–4 mm Hg. An equation describing the dependence of the contact heat exchange in vacuo for small compressive loads was derived based on experimental data published in the literature.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 259–269, February, 1970. |
