6.2.1 Calculations

Rearrange Equation 4 to find TJ:

TJ = (θJC + θCA) × PD + TA = (0.6 + 2.28) × 5.97 + 75 = 92.2°C

With TJ found, TC can be found using Equation 1 but with θJC instead of θJA:

TC = TJ - θJC × PD = 92.2 - 0.6 × 5.97 = 88.6°C

The expected value of TJ and TC are 92.2°C and 88.6°C respectively.
