How do I calculate the instantaneous rate of heat lost from this enclosure with a 18W heater inside that is controlled by an on-off programme?
As far as I can tell from your graph, the heater is on half the time during each cycle of its normal operation. This means it’s supplying an average of 9W. That’s the heat loss from your box.
For a ...

How do I calculate the instantaneous rate of heat lost from this enclosure with a 18W heater inside that is controlled by an on-off programme?
Admirable work, but you may be overdoing it. I would:
Switch the heater on at 100% duty cycle (provided it doesn't overheat the box) and allow the inside temperature to stabilise1. You are now losing ...

Vorticity vs angular velocity
Concept angular velocity assumes rotation of a solid item around an axis. It, of course can be calculated also for a portion of liquid which is inside say a kettle, the kettle rotates around some axis ...
