The corresponding half-space results were reported by Strong et al. 1974 4kaRs 1 f A _ 1 2 32 3n2 for A 0 for A _ 1 2 Correlation Equations for Spreading Resistance Since the three series solutions presented above for the three heat flux distributions a - 2 0 2 converge slowly as e 0 correlation equations for the dimensionless spreading resistance 4kaRs for the three flux distributions were developed having the general form Co C1F C C with the correlation coefficients given in Table . The correlation equations applicable for the parameter range 0 e provide four-decimal-place accuracy. Simple Correlation Equations Yovanovich 1976b recommended the following simple correlations for the three flux distributions 4kaRs a1 1 - a2e in the range 0 e with a maximum error of and 4kaRs a1 1 - e a3 in the range 0 e with a maximum error of 1 . Hie correlation coefficients for the three flux distributions are given in Table .
