ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL- Calculate the difference between an Anodized dark grey bus, and non-Anodized bus.

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Since the aluminum's surface has changed from our previous calculations, we must determine the impact that this decision could have. Simulate a completely annodized aluminum surface to represent an extreme scenario, and compare that to the more reasonable ratio of solar pannels and annodized surface.

Include the previous results which used a shiny aluminum surface as well.

With the current calculations:
- Cold Case Temperature: -10.7 C
- Hot Case Temperature: -4.4 C

This is Jacob's work for the calculations. Other Contributors researched the governing effects, and talked to teams about materials.
