Total flux to the magnets through a layer of MLI

Compute temperatures on a radiation shield with MLI. The surface flux is an input and is what is left after accounting for the heat exchanger.

        qS      Incoming flux
      ------    Outer wall
      *****     MLI layers
      ------    Inner wall
        qI      Emitted flux
