0.0787 Factor in F' Spreadsheet

Matt,
 
In reference to your question during yesterday's call, page 5 of the attached document we prepared on November 24, 2020 describes the origin of the 0.0787 factor, which represents the tangent of 4.5 degrees:
 
"In the formula, the air column thickness, Wside, along each battery side (push and coke sides) increases at a 4.5-degree angle from the base of the battery to the battery top, based on vertical plate heat transfer theory:
             
            Wside = H * Tan(4.5[o]) = H * (0.0787)
                                             
The air column cross-sectional area is equal to the column thickness at the battery top times the battery length."
 
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
 
Regards,
