We study the thermal boundary resistance between the electrons in a metal and the phonons in a liquid. The theory includes transverse modes in the fluid that can carry diffusive heat from the interface into the bulk of the liquid. The theory can be an extension over the acoustic mismatch theory for Kapitza resistance.
