1.6 Ambient Temperature

Ambient temperature has a great effect on convective and radiative heat transfer. Because thermal radiation varies with 4th power of temperature (T4), radiative heat transfer is significantly enhanced as temperature increases. On the contrary, convective heat transfer suffers with increasing temperature as the air is less dense at higher temperature. Generally, the effect of radiation is much higher than that of free convection. Experiments in the TI thermal lab show about a 10%–20% improvement in RθJA when measured between an ambient of 0°C–100°C; that is, RθJA at 100°C ambient is about 20% lower than the RθJA at 0°C ambient.
