1. Thermal contact conductance is the study of heat conduction between solid bodies in contact.2. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in direct thermal contact with. 3. This phenomenon is said to be a result of a thermal contact resistance existing between the contacting surfaces. 4. This conductance is generally much higher than thermal contact conductance, but becomes important in nanoscale material systems. 5. Frequently a thermally conductive grease is used to ensure optimal thermal contact ; such compounds often contain colloidal silver. 6. The study of heat conduction between such bodies is called thermal contact conductance ( Or thermal contact resistance ). 7. The study of heat conduction between such bodies is called thermal contact conductance ( Or thermal contact resistance ). 8. The shape of the stone pile allowed a good air flow with only minimal thermal contact between the stones. 9. Also, the driving circuit can have silicon diodes mounted in thermal contact with the output transistors to provide compensation. 10. The compression assembly system aims to decrease the thermal contact resistance between the thermoelectric module and the heat exchanger surfaces.
