Ambient air temperature is 27°C.
No hot spots, uniform heat distribution.
Not resting on any surface, I would like to discount the small mounting interface from the equation.
Heat removed by natural convection.
17W*22D*6H.
I have an aluminum enclosure 22" x 17" x 6" (approx).
I am dissipating 70 watts continuously within this enclosure.
What would be the temperature of the outer skin of this enclosure above the ambient air temperature of the surrounding environment?
The approx volume of the enclosure material...
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
How do I calculate the following?
If I apply a thermal load of 70 watts to 110 cubic inches of aluminum alloy, what is the approx temperature rise above ambient in degrees C.
