Based on Jamnia, Ali; Practical Guide to the Packaging of Electronics, (2016) CRC Press P.67-71
Cabinet dimensions (inch): X = , Y = , Z = , thk = , e =
Choose the material to fabricate the cabinet:
Input Heat from electronics into the cabinet BTU/h
Input Heat from sun exposure into the cabinet BTU/h ft2
Ambient temperature around the cabinet: °F
Estimated temperature on the surface of the cabinet (Tsurface): °F
Estimated Heat transfer coefficient (h): BTU/hr ft2 °F
