A friend of mine who was an aspiring plumber once stated that all you need to know to be a plumber is that you get paid on Friday and that waste flows downhill. Maybe there is a similar analogy for thermal engineers that regardless of when we get paid, thermal energy will flow in the direction of decreasing temperature. The direction of heat flow with respect to temperature … [Read more...]
Electronic Performance Impact of Elevated Humidity Environments – Implications for Free Air Cooling of Data Centers
Introduction The computer industry is exploring various options for reducing the cost and energy consumption associated with cooling data centers. The use of liquid cooling in the data center has long been exploited as a more energy efficient means of heat removal than forced air cooling. However, more recently, there has been considerable interest in cooling data centers by … [Read more...]
Editorial: Thermal Engineering and the Search for the Higgs Boson
In science, it’s rare that a revolutionary new theory is not preceded by groundbreaking experiments. More often than not, the timing of such experiments has depended on prior advancements in technology and engineering. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, where the critical experiments to find the Higgs boson were conducted, depended for its … [Read more...]

Why Not Just Shove a Heatsink on Top of it? Part 2: Heat Flow Budgets
Two different package styles, two very different thermal responses when a extruded plate fin heatsink is placed on each. At the very least a FloTHERM simulation can be used to observe the thermal behaviour of a product concept, beyond that it can be used to understand *why* the thermal behaviour is what it is. … [Read more...]
