Summary
Thermal conduction is one of the two primary heat transfer mechanisms present on space-based platforms. The goal of this chapter is to establish proficiency in the design and interpretation of thermal conductance resistance networks. The geometries studied are assemblies and/or sub-assemblies with multiple components of variable shapes and sizes.
