Calculations comparing the dissipation and critical temperature of Mark VI and Mark V components.

(APPENDIX - SHEET 3a)
Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.14/KW.6.11.35.

Using Mark VI 84 m.m. matrix and taking
ratio of Mark VI dissipation / Mark V dissipation = 1.15

(15% represents mean gain with Marston's latest Mark VI against Mark V).

∴ Dissipation (for 2 sq.ft.)
= 62.2 x 1.15 = 71.5 B.T.U's/min/°C.temp.diff.

∴ as before H / Δt = (602 x 71.5) / (144 x 2) = 149.4

∴ Δt = H / 149.4 = 8100 / 149.4 = 54.3

∴ Critical Temp. = 100 - 54.3 = 45.7°C.
