Multi-layer insulation, or MLI, is thermal insulation composed of multiple layers of thin sheets often used on
spacecraft. It is one of the main items of the spacecraft thermal design, primarily intended to reduce heat loss by
thermal radiation. In its basic form, it does not appreciably insulate against other thermal losses such as heat
conduction or convection. It is therefore commonly used on satellites and other applications in vacuum where
conduction and convection are much less significant and radiation dominates. MLI gives many satellites and
other space probes the appearance of being covered with gold foil.
The principle behind MLI is radiation balance. To see why it works, start with a concrete example - imagine a
square meter of a surface in outer space, at 300 K, with an emissivity of 1, facing away from the sun or other

N
heat sources. From the Stefan-Boltzmann law, this surface will radiate 460 watts. Now imagine we place a thin
(but opaque) layer 1 cm away from the plate, thermally insulated from it, and also with an emissivity of 1. This
new layer will cool until it is radiating 230 watts from each side, at which point everything is in balance. The
new layer receives 460 watts from the original plate. 230watts is radiated back to the original plate, and 230
watts to space. The original surface still radiates 460 watts, but gets 230 back from the new layers, for a net loss
E
of 230 watts. So overall, the radiation losses have been reduced by half by adding the additional layer.
More layers can be added to reduce the loss further. The blanket can be further improved by making the outside
surfaces highly reflective to thermal radiation, which reduces both absorption and emission. The performance
of a layer stack can be quantified in terms of its overall heat transfer coefficient U, which defines the radiative
heat flow rate Q between two parallel surfaces with a temperature difference ɟ Δ T and area A as
LL
Q = UA Δ T
Theoretically, the heat transfer coefficient between two layers with emissivities ɟ ∈ 1 ɟand ∈ 2 , under vacuum, is
1
U = 4σT 3 ,
1 1
∈1 + ∈2 − 1
where T is the mean of the temperatures (in K) of the two layers and σ = 5.7 × 10−8 ɟWm –2K –4 is theɟ
Stefan-Boltzmann Constant. If each layer has the same emissivity ɟÎ on both sides, then a stack of N layers
placed between two high-emissivity surfaces will have an overall heat transfer coefficient
A

1
U = 4σT 3
N ∈2 − 1 + 1
Clearly, increasing the number of layers and decreasing the emissivity, lower the heat transfer coefficient,
which is equivalent to a higher insulation value. In this equation, it is assumed that the temperature difference is
small compared to the absolute temperature.ɟ
21. Main purpose of multilayer insulation is insulation against heat transfer, where heat transfer is mainly due to :-
(A) Conduction (B) Conduction & radiation
(C) Conduction & convection (D) Radiation
