A breakthrough demonstration of heat dissipation at the atomic scale by an international research team could help scientists overcome major technological hurdles in the development of smaller, more powerful electronics. Heat—produced when a current passes through a conductive material—remains a major obstacle in the continuing development of smaller, faster, more reliable … [Read more...]
Rand Worldwide Acquires Thermal Simulation Services Provider
Professional services and technology company Rand Worldwide, Inc., has announced the acquisition of Informative Design Partners, a provider of computational fluid dynamics analysis consulting and thermal simulation services. “This acquisition follows on the heels of the recent Simulation Specialization designation that we received from Autodesk and allows us to offer a more … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: A System Perspective for Electronics Cooling
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...]
“Transverse” Thermoelectric Effect May Lead to Better Cooling Devices
Northwestern University researchers are investigating the possibility of vertical heat transport for better cooling devices. A new paper published in Physical Review Letters by researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois explores the idea of using materials in which heat flows perpendicular to an electric current to develop better devices for cooling … [Read more...]
Effectively Leveraging CAD Data in Electronics Thermal Simulation
June 26, 2013 Online "CFD modules embedded within MCAD software utilize native geometry but fail to deliver on solver speed, stability and built-in intelligence. Application specific CFD tools utilize parametric modeling objects allowing users to quickly create typical electronic components (PCBs, heat sinks, fans etc.). However, these advances are lost when importing … [Read more...]
