Precision sensing: heat and cooling.

SENSOR STUDY

Fewer readings. Less heat to remove.

In case a1-1-100_b48, readings fall from 48 to 23 at the same required estimate quality. Readings use 50% of the original task energy; planning adds 3%. In the normalized example, input falls from 1 J to 0.769583333 J. The exact conventional planner reaches the same reading counts.

10 W whole-device budget10 → 7.695833 W
Heat reduction at equal exports and storage2.304167 W
Saved cooler ledger200 → 165.4375 g

The cooling model takes all 10 W of starting input as heat through this path, with zero energy leaving in forms other than heat and zero change in stored energy. The cooler has 50 g fixed and 150 g scaled with effective area at the same heat transfer and temperature rise. Added permanent parts: 0 g. Net mass saved: 34.5625 g. The calculator retains these inputs so you can inspect or replace them.

Operating conditions, uncertainty and fitting the design into a product

One reference controller/processor, shared memory, sensor/clock rails and the stated unchanged external load; compute-specific increments and added resources are priced by the R5 common cost-law artifact.

Supply efficiency in the model: 90%. Shared loads and loads that stay unchanged: common host control W 0.02 W; common memory W 0.005 W; common clock sensor W 0.01 W; plant or external load W 1 W.

  • Application-specific force/flow/torque/trajectory plant and accepted settling/stability constraints
  • R(T), inductance/coenergy or relevant pump/motor/piezo constitutive maps
  • Driver switching, mechanical work and all retained loss maps at equal service
  • Controller state/history, safe fault behavior and recovery sequence

The portfolio has 13 savings at the main modeled point, 100 ties using the conventional fallback, and 7 unmatched comparisons across 120 references. Positive advantages passing both the strict and combined tighter uncertainty tests: 0.

YOUR PRODUCT’S THERMAL INPUTS

Calculate the cooling mass.

Use the heat carried by this cooling path and the weight of its installed parts, including added hardware. The comparison task’s average power change contributes to that total device calculation.

Chosen model: effective area follows Q = hAΔT; the fixed mass stays, the area-scaled mass changes, and added parts are charged.

34.5625 g net cooling mass saved

200 g → 165.4375 g. Effective area: 500 → 384.79167 cm².

Explore the calculation.

Heat energy = input energy − energy leaving in forms other than heat − change in stored energy.
