Heat Dissipation Thermal Resistance Calculator

This calculator helps engineers and designers determine the thermal resistance of a heat sink or cooling system, which is crucial for managing heat dissipation in electronic components. It computes the thermal resistance (Rθ) based on the temperature difference between the heat source and ambient environment, as well as the power dissipated by the component.

Key Features:

How to Use:

  1. Enter the temperature difference (ΔT) between the component and ambient environment.
  2. Input the power dissipation (P) of the component in watts.
  3. Click "Calculate" to obtain the thermal resistance value.

Example Calculation:

Parameter Value
Temperature Difference (ΔT) 50°C
Power Dissipation (P) 10W
Thermal Resistance (Rθ) 5°C/W

Applications:

Note: Ensure accurate input values for reliable results. Lower thermal resistance indicates better heat dissipation efficiency.
