NMB Technologies Corporation introduces a new series of informational engineering papers on how thermal simulation can aid, not only in the design of a system, but in anticipating the behavior of cooling components.
In looking at the selection process of cooling components, in particular axial cooling fans, the first step for the engineer is to estimate the required airflow for his or her application. The engineer’s design needs to take into consideration not only the heat generated by the many other components that are necessary, but the solution as to how to cool this design effectively.
In the first of many series, NMB presents a view of how thermal simulation can assist in predicting and improving the airflow and optimal cooling of an average CPU application.
