The characteristics of a "Radiant Transfer Thermal Diode" in the form           of a flat panel are examined.  The thermal diode transfers heat                 radiantly instead of through mass transfer.  The panel is constructed           from steel with a honeycomb support system.  Selective surfaces are             utilized on both sides of the panel.  Around the perimeter of the panel         is a foam-filled stainless steel closeout.  The panel is evacuated.             Steady-state performance of the Radiant Transfer Thermal Diode is               evaluated by means of a guarded hot box.  The guarded hot box is used           for vertical, horizontal, and incline testing purposes.  The objectives         of the project are:  (1) construct a guarded hot box for the purpose of         measuring the thermal performance of the Radiant Transfer Thermal Diode         according to ASTM C236-80 specifications; (2) fabricate a 1" 4' x 8'            flat Radiant Transfer Thermal Diode from mild steel with selective              surfaces and a closeout of stainless steel which is then evacuated to           30 milli torr; and (3) measure the heat flux in both directions of the          flat Radiant Transfer Thermal Diode under different temperature                 extremes and record data in usable tables.
