β¦ Synopsis
The steady-state heat-conduction problem of two semi-infinite solids in contact through a cylindrical joint is, by physical symmetry and uniqueness of solution, reduced to the problem of a cylinder of isothermal top surface in contact at its bottom with a semi-infinite solid. An analysis is carried out to investigate the thermal resistance of the system, taking into account the aspect ratio of the cylinder and the thermal conductivity of the solids. The effect of these parameters on the thermal resistance, which consists of the constriction resistance at the interface and the material resistance of the cylinder, is examined and discussed.

A new technique has been developed for determination of the formation thermal conductivity and contact thermal resistance. It is assumed that the volumetric heat capacity of formations is known and the instantaneous heat flow rate and time data are available for a cylindrical probe with a constant t
