Ok that makes sense.
So I can assume these electrical devices will be radiating power since the box is enclosed? I think I have enough information to get me going.
DrWeig:
I will check out the software! Thanks for the tip. The boundary conditions are such that it will in a climate/room that will be roughly 35C and mounted on a wall.
IRstuff:
"in general, you ought not ignore radiation, particularly in a enclosed space."
Why is this? Wouldn't it be mainly...
I am a mechanical engineer (not the strongest thermo background) and have been tasked with solving a heat transfer problem. I have a junction box with electrical devices inside that produce 30W of heat. The box's surface area is 0.26m. The box is made out of steel. The ambient temperature is...
