Compact Water-Circulation System Prevents Stacks of Electronic Chips
A research team from the A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics and Nanyang University in Singapore has designed and built a water circulation system to cool stacks of integrated electrical circuits. “The heat must be removed from microchips to maintain a temperature within acceptable limits: less than 100 °C,” explains team-member Navas Khan from the Institute of … [Read more...]
Report: LED Lights to Capture 50 Percent of Market by 2020
A new report finds that the market for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is set to grow substantially in the next 10 years, surpassing even compact fluorescent lightbulbs as an energy-efficient lighting option. By 2020, LEDs will cover 46 percent of the $4.4 billion U.S. market for lamps in the commercial, industrial and outdoor stationary sectors, driven by the overall push toward … [Read more...]
The art of modelling using CFD. Part IV – Fans
Sometimes the ability to apply artistic interpretation of your virtual product to your simulation model of it is limited or dictated (take your pick) by the available capabilities of that simulation tool. CFD simulation is quite a young technology, application to electronics cooling newer still, a mere 21 years old. Always pushing the limit of available computing resource, … [Read more...]
The art of modelling using CFD. Part III – TIGs
Never trust a TLA (three-letter acronym) or those who use them, unless the abbreviation provides some value in terms of repetitive usage or is accepted as an industry standard. Too often TLAs are used as a screen between those who are listening and the incompetence of the person talking. TIGs (thermally insignificant geometries) as a TLA is neither useful nor accepted, I just … [Read more...]
