A simple study aimed at predicting the Thermochemical Response of honey comb sandwich panels is presented. The overall thermal conductivity coefficient for the panel is obtained through a consideration of the convective gas move ment within the cell spaces. The earlier correlations of Catton and Edwards are used. The analytical solution for the one-dimensional approximation is quoted from an earlier study.
