Thermal Resistance Network
The Thermal Resistance Network method uses electrical circuit analogy to solve heat transfer problems. It treats heat flow as analogous to electric current, thermal resistance analogous to electrical resistance, and temperature difference analogous to voltage potential. This powerful conceptual framework enables engineers to analyze complex multi-layer heat transfer systems systematically.
