1. A thermal management system, comprising:

  • an anisotropic graphite planar element having a relatively high thermal conductivity in the plane of the planar element and having a relatively low thermal conductivity across a thickness of the planar element in a direction normal to the plane of the planar element, the planar element having a cavity defined therein; and

    a core closely received in the cavity, the core being constructed of an isotropic core material so that heat from a heat source can be conducted via the core into the thickness of the planar element and then out across the plane of the planar element.
