How to select a challenging thermal transport scenario

Choose a scenario from actual hot, long and frequent-opening operations; do not combine extremes that cannot occur together.

Short answer

Use operating records to bound ambient exposure, route duration, fill, lid openings and waits. Select conditions that challenge the system and can plausibly co-occur; document the test boundary and rationale instead of combining arbitrary extremes.

The challenging scenario is a combination found in real operation.

Evidence file

Ambient heat and waiting
Route duration
Fill
Opening frequency

Write the method before results

Use recorded upper ranges and identify which conditions co-occur.

Verification

Select a challenging but plausible combination; do not stack incompatible extremes.

Report the boundary and rationale; do not assume it covers every route.
