OPTIMAL THICKNESS OF INSULATION LAYER WITH EMITTING CONVEX SURFACE
The heat transfer process in the insulating layer with external emitting convex surface of the double curvature is investigated. The combinations of defining parameters, in which the passing through this layer heat flow reaches its minimum by an absolute value, are determined. The insulating layer thickness, corresponding to this value, is considered to be optimal for the problem of choosing the appropriate type of insulation for heat transfer process by radiation, even for the constructions in the space industry. The conducted quantative analysis of the relationship between heat flow and defining parametres makes possible to select thermophysical characteristics of the insulation and its layer thickness for providing the required reduction of the heat transfer intensity via insulation with the emitting convex surface of the double curvature
