equilibriumHeatLevel(dissipation, thermalLoad): number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:263

The heat level a thermal load settles at.

A hull sheds heat in proportion to the square of its heat level, so a load twice as large settles only √2 as hot. Above heat level 1 dissipation stops rising, which is why a load beyond dissipation settles nowhere at all.

number

The hull's maximum heat dissipation, per second.

number

The load being shed, per second.

number

The settled heat level, in model units — 1 is where dissipation maxes out and OVERHEAT_HEAT_LEVEL is the overheating point. A load above dissipation returns a level above 1, which the ship never actually reaches as a resting point: it passes through it and keeps climbing.

If either argument is not a finite non-negative number.
