Rotary fans have been used to cool electronic devices using forced convection applications to achieve the required heat transfer dissipation. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to miniaturize the size and maximize the efficiency of the electronic devices which, in turn, increases heat generation. The use of rotary fan cooling conflicts with these new trends due … [Read more...]

Special Challenges In 3D Simulations of Graphite Heat Spreaders
INTRODUCTION Graphite is a naturally occurring form of pure carbon in which the atomic bonds interlock in the layers of a two-dimensional molecular sheet. In nature, dense, rigid graphite ore is mined, purified, and processed into numerous applications, including the inexpensive flexible natural graphite sheets used in electronics. The ore is mechanically reduced and then … [Read more...]
