Nanoparticles Increase Thermal Properties of Transformer Oil
Rice University scientists have created a nano-infused oil that could greatly enhance the ability of devices as large as electrical transformers and as small as microelectronic components to shed excess heat. Research in the lab of Rice materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan could raise the efficiency of such transformer oils by as much as 80 percent with an environmentally … [Read more...]
Butterfly-Inspired Design Enables Advanced Thermal Imaging Devices
Taking heat detection to a new level of sensitivity and speed, a team of scientists at GE Global Research announced new bio-inspired nanostructured systems that could outperform thermal imaging devices available today. This discovery adds to a growing list of new capabilities that GE researchers have developed through their studies of Morpho butterfly wings. GE scientists are … [Read more...]
Natural Convection Analyses: Best Practices for Simulating Thin Air Gaps in Electronic Systems
April 26, Webinar While many electronic devices have power densities that require forced air flow, a significant number of systems can still utilize solely natural (passive) convective cooling. The reliability and quietness of passively cooled systems is especially attractive for consumer devices, so investigating these cooling options is a valuable portion of the design … [Read more...]
