TCR & TIM

Heat transfer across a contact interface formed by any two solid bodies is usually accompanied by a measurable temperature difference because there exists a thermal resistance to heat flow in the region of the interface. The temperature difference at the contact interface is obtained by extrapolating the steady state unidirectional temperature distribution from regions far from the contact plane. 

The Practical study of heat transfer through surface contact resistance is very essential for the advancement of thermal applications. It is required to understand the heat transfer between composite pairs having the same as well as different interface materials. The outcomes will be very essential for the design of different heat transfer thermal applications. The sole objective of this research work is to reduce the Thermal Contact Resistance (TCR) and increases the thermal efficiency of the application. To minimize thermal contact resistance, the study of heat transfer with composite material pair & Thermal Interface Material (TIM) has been carried out experimentally in the absence or/and presence of pressure conditions.
