An analog-computer study is made of one-dimensional heat conduction through two bars whose axes are in line and whose adjacent ends make and break contact periodically. The work extends a previous study to take account of imperfect thermal contact at the contact interface. The effect of frequency and duration of contact are also discussed.

Thermal contact resistance(TCR) is one of the important parameters in heat transfer problems of engineering, and it is necessary to estimate the value of TCR effectively in many engineering fields. Considering the limitation of current estimation methods of TCR such as only focusing on one-dimensional thermal conduction, getting a single value of TCR merely, and the temperature measuring points only being placed in temperature gradient direction of mediums, boundary element method(BEM) and conjugate gradient method are combined to estimate the TCR in planar mediums. The value of TCR in relation to the position of contact interface line is estimated with this method, and the positions of temperature measuring points can be selected randomly because of the characteristic of BEM that there is no necessity to discrete the inner area and it is sufficient to discrete the boundary. The analysis of calculation examples base on heat transfer model of planar medium demonstrates that:this method can estimate the TCR effectively, but the ill-posedness is also existed in this method which is one of the inverse problems, and the calculation error of TCR is increased with the distance from temperature measuring points to contact interface, the estimation precision and stability can be improved after optimization with least square method.

Boltzmann Method

The lattice Boltzmann method and the particle image model are adopted to study a heat transfer problem with thermal contact resistance. In this paper, a new study involving an inclined interface of contact between two media is introduced in order to evaluate a 2-D heat transfer in the steady regime. A case of study and numerical results are provided to support this configuration. The obtained results show the effect of the thermal contact resistance on the heat transfer, as well as the temperature distribution on the two contacting media.

Glass Metal

In this paper, an experimental device is designed and developed in order to estimate thermal conditions at the glass/metal contact interface. This device is made of two parts: The upper part contains the tool (piston) made of bronze and a heating device to raise the temperature of the piston to 700 °C. The lower part is composed of a lead crucible and a glass sample. The assembly is provided with a heating system, an induction furnace of 6 kW for heating the glass up to 950 °C. The developed experimental procedure has permitted the estimation of the thermal contact resistance (TCR) using a developed measurement principle based on the inverse technique developed by Beck et al. (1985, Inverse Heat Conduction: III Posed Problems, Wiley Inter-science, New York). The semitransparent character of the glass has been taken into account by an additional radiative heat flux and an equivalent thermal conductivity. After the set-up tests, reproducibility experiments for a specific contact pressure have been carried out. Results show a good repeatability of the registered and estimated parameters such as the piston surface temperature, heat flux density, and TCR. The estimated value of TCR reaches 2 × 10−3 K m2/W with a maximum dispersion that does not exceed 6%.

– Thermal contact resistances between a silver metallized SiC chip and a direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate have been measured in a heat transfer experiment. A novel experimental method to separate thermal contact resistances in multilayer heat transfer path has been demonstrated. The experimental results have been compared with analytical calculations and also with 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation results. A simplified CFD model of the experimental setup has been validated. The results show significant pressure dependence of the thermal contact resistance but also a pressure independent part.
