Thanks for sharing those links ione. They look like good reading. IRstuff, you raise some good questions.
I haven’t gotten solid numbers on power dissipation yet, so for now I’m guesstimating what kind of temperatures we might see in the upper third of the enclosure for the mean time. Once I...
Thank you for your help Ione. It gives me more confidence that in fact my methodology is correct. Based on the solutions you provided I have a few follow up questions.
1) What is a good resource for determining the heat transfer coefficient of air? So far I've only come across valid ranges but...
I'm designing fins for a heat exchanger to transfer heat from an enclosure to environment using natural convection, and I want to ensure that the heat exchanger will transfer enough heat out of the enclosure. The heat exchanger has two sets of fins – one set pointing vertically down into the...
