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.
