by MP Divakar, PhD, Stack Design Automation Technical Editor, Electronics Cooling Online Earlier in August of this year, Electronics Cooling featured an article on energy efficiency of data centers where a review of the energy consumed by the IT and non-IT equipment and its optimization by deterministic (DCIM) and AI methods (Google’s Deepmind) was presented. The … [Read more...]
Calculation Corner: Spreadsheet-based Matrix Analysis – Extension to Transient Analysis
by Ross Wilcoxon, Ph.D., Associate Technical Editor Over the years, a number of articles [1-3] published in ElectronicsCooling have described the use of thermal resistance networks to analyze electronic systems. The analysis of a thermal resistance network begins by defining discrete nodes that are connected with resistors, with the magnitude of a flow between nodes defined … [Read more...]
Book Review of Electronics Cooling (2016)
by MP Divakar, PhD, Stack Design Automation Technical Editor, Electronics Cooling Online Electronics cooling engineers and designers are used to one constant in their professional lives: change. Most of it (as far as problem solving is concerned) is change for the worse… and is challenging! The heat flux keeps increasing, the geometries keep shrinking, the available solution … [Read more...]
Thermal Conductor Research Project Joined by UH Physicist
(July 21, 2016) University of Houston’s MD Anderson Professor and physicist, Zhifeng Ren, has joined the $7.5 million collaboration to develop a material with a higher conductivity than diamonds. “Earlier research conducted in this field has anticipated the potential of boron arsenide to be a better thermal conductor than diamonds,” said Ren, “David Broido, a Boston College … [Read more...]
Combination of Two Insulators Could Enable More Efficient Heat Management
(July 28, 2016) Recently, “researchers at the University of Utah and the University of Minnesota have discovered that when two oxide compounds—strontium titanate (STO) and neodymium titanate (NTO)—are joined together, they make an extraordinary conductive material that could vastly improve power transistors,” according to Spectrum.IEEE.org. By themselves, each material … [Read more...]
