What Are the Best Books on Thermal Control of Spacecraft?

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for books on spacecraft thermal control include "Spacecraft Thermal Control Handbook" edited by David G. Gilmore, which covers fundamental technologies and cryogenics. Another notable title is "Fundamentals of Space Systems," which provides a comprehensive overview of various aspects of space systems, including thermal control. "Spacecraft Thermal Control, Design, and Operation," edited by Howard E. Collicott and Paul E. Bauer, compiles technical papers from significant aerospace conferences. The discussion also touches on software for thermal analysis and the application of thermal control paints on spacecraft structures. These resources are essential for understanding and implementing effective thermal control in spacecraft design and operation.

which software is the best for thermal analysis
 
any material on "how to apply the thermal control paints on the structure
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
