Abstract:This study analyzes the effect of the temperature coefficient of electric resistance on the thermal performance of a film heater for satellite applications. A heating element in the film heater was fabricated using silver paste and screen-printing technology. The temperature distributions of the film heater were numerically simulated on the basis of the heat transfer equation. The temperature coefficient of resistance was evaluated by measuring the film-heater temperature at various voltages using a forward-lo… Show more
