Watts and degrees Celsius are two different units of measurement and cannot be directly converted from one to the other. Watts (W) measure power, while degrees Celsius (°C) measure temperature. They are used to quantify different physical quantities.
However, in some cases, the power dissipated by a device can cause a change in temperature. In these situations, you can use the concept of thermal resistance and heat transfer to estimate the temperature change.
The relationship between power, temperature change, and thermal resistance can be described using the formula:
ΔT = P × R
where: ΔT is the temperature change in degrees Celsius, P is the power in watts, and R is the thermal resistance in degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W).
The thermal resistance depends on the specific characteristics of the device or material in question and represents how effectively heat can be transferred through it. It is usually provided by the manufacturer or determined through experimentation.
By knowing the power dissipated by a device and its thermal resistance, you can estimate the resulting temperature change. However, please note that this approach is specific to the thermal behavior of the device and does not represent a direct conversion between watts and degrees Celsius.
