Abstract In this paper, a numerical model investigating the impact of gasket thermal quality on the reduction in the thermal contact resistance (TCR) between
two solids is presented and validated analytically. The model proposed is a 2D steady state model. The thermal conductivity of the solid materials
ranges from 20 to 390 W/m·K, and the gasket thermal conductivity ranges from 0.16W/m·K (TC of rubber) to and 5W/m·K (TC of thermal paste). As
expected, the results obtained clearly confirm that the gasket significantly improves the heat transfer between two solids in contact, and in particular
that the TCR is decreased with increasing… More >
