INTRODUCTION Traditionally, medical science has depended on a variety of diagnostic tests administered by medical personnel to either detect the onset of an illness or to monitor its progress. More recently, this focus has been supplemented by a strategy of health maintenance and disease prevention. Both of these strategies benefit from the frequent testing of individuals. Of … [Read more...]
Development of a 3D Printed Loop Heat Pipe
ABSTRACT The small form-factor satellites, CubeSats and SmallSats, have increased in popularity and capability, but advanced thermal solutions are required to keep up with the increasing heat loads. Loop heat pipes (LHPs) are a passive solution capable of transporting heat from electronics to deployable radiator panels. However, due to their complicated structure, LHPs require … [Read more...]
Thermal Management and Safety Regulation of Smart Watches
ABSTRACT A smartwatch is one of the most popular wearable devices now. Along with battery life and security, thermal safety is the most common concern. We show how to meet ergonomic standards for users and predict thermal performance in typical scenarios. Thermal simulation software applied at the design stage can provide guidance on the use of heat-spreading materials and … [Read more...]
Electronics Cooling Sanity Check
Introduction A number of years ago I attended a meeting at Purdue University to discuss future challenges and goals for electronics cooling research. One topic that generated a significant amount of interest was, what magnitude of heat flux represented a substantial challenge that the electronics cooling community should be striving to meet with new developments. The closest … [Read more...]
Transient Thermal Calculations for Skin Contact by Wearable Devices
Introduction Mobile and wearable electronic devices are truly ubiquitous these days. Thermal engineers involved in the design of these devices are not only attentive to managing the temperature of the various components within these devices, but they are also careful to ensure that the temperature on the outer shell of these devices never exceeds certain limits as specified in … [Read more...]
