DESIGN OF A SYSTEM OF MULTILAYER HEAT INSULATION OF MINIMUM MASS

In this gaper, the formulations of design problems associated with the investigation of the thermal conditions of objects are treated as inv erse problems of mathematical physics. The algorithm is suggested for solving the widely applied problem of heat design, that of the choice of thickness of multilayer heat insulation of minimum mass. The result s are given of the use of the suggested algorithm for solving the prac tical problem of the choice of thickness of the heat-shielding coating for space vehicle.
