Thanks for the tip - I've tried to solve the problem and my equations give me somewhat sensible results but they don't match the result from the calculator. I'll try to walk you through it briefly.
The diagram for the problem:
For thermal equilibrium, I'm assuming that heat flux in and...
I’m calculating insulation thickness for an engine bay with forced air cooling. Known parameters are
- inside air temperature (forced flow)
- outside air temperature (static)
- material properties of the engine bay enclosure and insulation, and finally
- maximum allowed outside surface...
I found this online calculator for insulation thickness: https://insulation.com.au/calculator/thickness-required/
Can you help me find equation being used for the calculation?
Based on inputs required, my understanding is that it must be heat conduction calculations but also accounting for...
