Re: The LM317 is quite the hot head ...
BTW, if you look at that graph, at 10A of Id and Vds of 3V, that is 30W of power dispensation, so you will have temperature rise above the room temperature, that rise is based on thermal resistance of the device rating in xxC per Watt. You also do not want the junction temp to be above the limit as shown in the spec.
