I am interested in calculating the temperature rise of a 10 mil aluminum bond wire. Assuming relative purity of the wire, I feel like I should be able to use the method I have worked out below. If anyone can advise on the accuracy of my method, it would be greatly appreciated.
Method:
1. Calculate electrical resistance of wire base on either (resistivity * length) / cross-sectional area or from tables.
2. Use required current and resistance according to (i^2)*R to calculate power dissipation
3. Calculate thermal resistance according to length / (thermal conductance * cross sectional area)
4. Calculate thermal rise according by power 8 thermal resistance
Thanks in advance...
