Re: Javatc update to version 10.j

Hi Ed,
Actually since he is dividing by 5/9, he is correct. It would be equivalent to multiplying by 9/5. (centigrade*(9/5)+32) is the same as (centigrade/(5/9)+32). It confused me for a minute too.

A typo I suspect.  Centigrade to Fahrenheit should be:
To convert from Centigrade to Fahrenheit:  (centigrade/(9/5)+32)

9/5 as opposed to 5/9.

Hi All,

I updated Javatc with a minor update (just a clean-up item)

http://www.classictesla.com/java/javatc.html

At the top of the form there is a new input box for Ambient
Temperature and drop down for Centigrade or Fahrenheit. The default
is 68 Fahrenheit (20 Centigrade). This effects only the DC Resistance value.

The download version is also upgraded and available at the web site.

For those who are interested, the equation for DC resistance with
ambient temp considerations:

DCR = ((4 x (wire length) x 6.787 x 1e-7) / ((wire diameter)^2 x PI))
x (1 + (C-20) x 0.0039)
where
   DCR = DC Resistance in ohms
   wire length & wire diameter = inches
   C = degrees Centigrade
   PI = 3.14159....

Temp Unit conversion:

To convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade:  (fahrenheit-32)*(5/9)
To convert from Centigrade to Fahrenheit:  (centigrade/(5/9)+32)
