Heat Transfer and Thermal Control Systems

The present volume contains a selection of studies dealing with heat pipes and thermal control systems. The papers were drawn from the AIAA 15th Aerospace Sciences Meeting in Los Angeles, CA in January 1977 and the AIAA 12th Thermophysics Conference in Albuquerque, NM in June 1977, and were revised and updated especially for this volume. They have been grouped into three chapters: heat pipes, heat transfer, and thermal control systems.
