Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have experimentally shown for the first time that the thermal conductivity of lithium cobalt oxide (LixCoO2), a material used in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries, can be reversibly electrochemically modulated over a significant range. Many technologies require control over the flow of heat through materials in … [Read more...]
Top 10 FloTHERM V10 Features – #4: Updated CAD
FloTHERM's strength has always its been its robustness, founded on a simplicity of technology that we've tried not to compromise over its 25 year life. This is no truer than in its 3D CAD drawing interface. More Lego than Sculpting in its capabilities, it's always been quick and easy to mock up a conceptual cooling architecture for a proposed design. FloTHERM V10 provides a … [Read more...]
Top 10 FloTHERM V10 Features – #3: FEA Interfacing
Temperature has always been, and will continue to be, a good enough leading indicator of product reliability. As a parameter it is easy to specify a maximum rating value and relatively easy to measure. However it is not temperature itself that directly causes product failure, more often than not it is some kind of mechanical fracture or deformation that itself is fuelled by … [Read more...]

Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Historical Suggestions for Thermal Management of Electronics
Jim Wilson, Engineering Fellow Raytheon Company I have a small book in my office labeled “Suggestions for Designers of Navy Electronic Equipment, 1970 Edition” that was given to me several years ago by the editor at microwaves101.com (which happens to be a useful website if you are interested in microwave topics). The introduction states that any or all of this information is … [Read more...]
