The thermal resistance near the bottom of the figure should be: 1/ hE v Acl ,w The equation near the top of the page should read: hC = (2 ! 0.85)0.39 = 1.056 Btu/hrft2 F.
The total thermal resistance is largely derived from the interfacial thermal resistance, which is also called thermal boundary resistance (Kapitza resistance) . Interfacial thermal resistance is more important at the nanoscale because it causes many contact interfaces and is more complex at the nanoscale.
