In a quest to increase surface heat removal rates for electronics packaging, impinging jet cooling promises to be effective and inexpensive. Most impingement cooling systems use open pipes. These are effective but have drawbacks such as high impingement forces on the target surface. In the last 10 years radical nozzles have been shown in the laboratory to benovel and … [Read more...]
Safety tips and techniques for FEA in modeling solids
Using commercially available finite element analysis (FEA) software is easier today than it has ever been. Software vendors have made great progress toward providing programs that are as easy to use as they are powerful. But, in doing so, software suppliers have created a perilous quagmire for unwary users. Some engineers and managers look upon commercially available FEA … [Read more...]
