Cooling Performance Estimation of A public-figure-inspired outfit
In short: Why is Jensen cool?
This project applies rigorous thermal engineering principles to analyze the passive heat dissipation performance of an iconic tech executive outfit. We model the human body as a 100W "android" and ask the critical question: Does this famous ensemble risk thermal throttling under sustained operation?
Spoiler: It depends on the temperature!
- ❄️ 18°C Environment: 116.7W dissipation → PASS ✅
- 🌡️ 26°C Environment: 56.5W dissipation → FAIL ❌ (43.5W deficit)
The outfit performs surprisingly well in cooler conditions but suffers significant thermal bottlenecks at typical room temperature.
Try the live demo to explore different scenarios and see how environmental conditions dramatically affect thermal performance:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/NewJerseyStyle/Jensen-TDP.git
cd Jensen-TDP
# Install dependencies
pip install gradio plotly numpy pandas
# Run the interactive UI
python ui.pyfrom thermal_model import ThermalModel
model = ThermalModel()
results = model.calculate_cooling_performance(T_ambient=26.0)
print(f"Heat dissipation: {results.total_heat_dissipation:.1f}W")The model implements a full-body thermal resistance network:
- Upper Body: 3-zone parallel model (open front, loose fit, tight fit)
- Lower Body: Single-zone model with denim and air gaps
- Heat Transfer: Conduction + convection analysis with real material properties
