Known works on contact heat conduction are summarized and systematized. Nodes in which contact thermal resistance plays an important role are classified. Basic factors, affecting the heat transfer process in a contact zone, are formulated. Results of the generalized research of the existing analytical relations are considered using the theory of fuzzy sets; regions of preferred use of different regularities are formulated. Formulas for more accurate calculation of contact thermal resistance for flat and cylindrical surfaces are derived.
