Question

Thermal Resistance Units?

Hi folks, I'm working with a thermal assembly model and I'm trying to assign a thermal resistance value between the connections. I'm used to seeing Thermal resistance values in C/W, hower in Wildfire 4.0 is shows the units as N/(m sec C). How do I interpret this and convert from C/W?

Also, is it possible to have different thermal resistances assigned to different connections in the same assembly?

 

Thanks.

 

Dave.

You can use Δ°C/W (instead °C/W) it works.

My suggestion is to continue with the calculation without unit just for avoid the consequences of °C -> K conversion issues. If there is no issue you can use the above unit. You know the unit is not so appropriate, but it works.
