IRStuff, thank you for the links, I'll go through them. Unfortunately, this is not my area of expertise, and I was hoping that that there was a straightforward first-order estimate equation that one might use to acquire a ROM estimate for the temperature rise in an enclosure(knowing the size of...

Sorry, but I'm confused. I would have expected something that factors T2 (outside), the area and thickness of the surfaces, the coefficient of conductivity of those surfaces and the power dissipated inside; resulting in the DeltaT . Can you please explain? Thx.

Hello all, I searched through the forums ("temperature rise") and did not find an applicable thread (or at least one that I thought would help) for my question. My apologies, if I missed a previous thread that addresses my question. My question is: What is the formula for estimating the rise in...

rb1957, Sorry about the dbl post...wont happen again. The antenna is mounted to a tower or pole. I'm trying to understand what the wind load on my antenna will have on its mounts and the tower/pole interface.

rb1957, Can you elaborate? My apologies, but I don't quite understand; too many years in another field has evaporated my aerodynamics studies.

Thank you btrueblood for both the equation and the forum policy; I appreciate it.

I need to calculate the wind-loading force (lbf or N) that will be applied to my rectangular antenna enclosure (face area of 2.6 sq ft /0.24 sq m) in a wind speed of 60mph (97km/h. The estimated drag coefficient (based on a flat face with rounded edges) is 1.9. Can someone provide me with the...
