Hello,

I want to create a heak sink in Icepak and to understand the functioning of it.
So: - I create a heak sink with a resistance of 1.0 C/W (with the button "heat sink" in Icepak)
- I put a block1 with a power of 1W under the heat sink
- I put a block2 on the heat sink
- It put this entire system on the "minY" of the cabinet and I choose that "minY" is a wall with a temperature of 10°C. The other sides of the cabinet are "openings".
- The ambient temperature is 10°C
(Radiation=Off, gravity vector => Y=-9.81m/s², flow regime=laminar)
So I guess that the temperature of the block2 will be 9°C, no ?
But the result I found with Icepak is the temperature of the block2 is 10,0040°C so I don't understand the result I obtain...

Someone can help me to understand why I don't have 9°C, please ?

Thanks in advance.
