Hey folks,
I am trying to find some numbers for thermal contact conductance (or resistance, or course) between two copper parts with a pressure between them around 20 kPa, with and without vacuum grease. I have googled all over and looked at a lot of scholarly articles(they were all a little too scholarly for my tastes) but I am still looking. Anyone have a table somewhere with experimental results? Somewhere to look? Thanks

Thanks for the link, ione.
That really is a pretty exhaustive paper! I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for in there, but it should certainly get me within an order of magnitude.
