Calculation Corner: Estimating The Effect Of Flow Bypass On Parallel Plate-Fin Heat Sink Performance
by Bob Simons – Reprinted from ElectronicsCooling, Feb., 2004 [Formatted by B. Guenin, 4/4/16] In past issues of ElectronicsCooling, methodologies were presented for estimating parallel plate-fin heat sink thermal resistance [1] and pressure drop [2]. The underlying assumption for both articles was that all the flow delivered by the fan is forced to go through the channels … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Understanding and Defining Electronics Cooling Requirements
Jim Wilson My experience in electronics cooling has taught me that it is often a fairy tale that thermal engineers fully understand requirements related to their designs and analyses, or that they fully understand the implications of subjecting thermal requirements on suppliers or coworkers. A rush to get a quick answer or to use the latest feature in an analysis software code … [Read more...]
Tech Brief: Visualization of Flow Boiling of R245fa in a Microgap with Integrated Staggered Pin Fins
Pouya Asrar *, Xuchen Zhang, Craig E. Green, Peter A. Kottke, Thomas E. Sarvey, Andrei Fedorov, Muhannad S. Bakir, and Yogendra K. Joshi* Introduction Two phase cooling has become a promising technique for managing high heat fluxes from electronic packages such as 3D stacked chips. Flow boiling in microchannel arrays has been employed in many applications[1-3], and boiling … [Read more...]
Application of Phase Change Materials in Handheld Computing Devices
William Maltz, Darryl Moore, and Arun Raghupathy 1. Introduction With peak loads often in the order of minutes and ergonomic considerations limiting surface temperatures and acoustical noise, handheld devices, such as smart phones or tablets, are excellent candidates for use of phase change materials (PCMs). Processor loads in handheld products are highly variable. There … [Read more...]
