It would be nice, but until the U.S. makes the switch to metric for get it.
I’m sure also that many of us are growing accustom to the imperial system (like I have) because the majority of companies customer bases are in the states.
It seems I have hit a nerve. My intent was only to get the guy started.
Occasionally you will get some people who feel they can be engineers with the use of some nifty program, only soon to realize that they don’t have the background to understand and utilize the software and must seek further...
Here's the formula for heat transfer: Q=(A)(U)(D)
Q= quantity of heat (BTU/Hr)
A= surface area of wall (sqft)
U= coefficient of heat transmission (BTU/hr/sqft/Degree F)
Also you can go to www.elitesoft.com if you want to look at buying software.
Thanks for the input, I think I'll persue thermoelectric cooling for this application. Melcor looks like they have some products that will suit my needs.
Does anyone know of a good reference for the design of an
absorption refrigeration cycle?
I'am designing a small cooler and because of size constaints
am unable to use a compressor.
Evaportor temp: 32F
Ambient room temp: 75F
Cooling capacity: 200 BTU/Hr
Thanks,
