Thermal choking is a phenomenon that occurs when a system’s performance is limited by its ability to dissipate heat. The formula for thermal choking can vary depending on the specific system and its components, but in general, it involves factors such as thermal resistance, heat generation rate, ambient temperature, and heat dissipation capacity. One common formula used to describe thermal choking is:
Where:
- is the power dissipation (heat generation rate) of the system,
- is the maximum allowable temperature of the system,
- is the ambient temperature,
- is the thermal resistance of the system.
