When I went through school (as a EE) I apparently slept through most of my thermodynamics class! Finally, after 50 years, I need to know something. Can someone estimate the thermal exchange coefficient (thermal transfer coefficient) for the following structure for me? FR4 substrate 3 Oz, 6 inch long trace delta T of 100 degree C Horizontal in still air. Even better, can someone estimate the curve for me (i.e., at delta T = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100?)
