Yesterday, during the 2015 IEEE ECCE conference and exposition in Montréal, Canada, Mersen presented the R-Tools GEN III. Mersen will show the redesigned interactive 3D Thermal Heatsink Modeling simulation software today, Sept. 22, as well. “R-Tools Gen III is a free on-line simulation software that allows users to model the optimum air cooled heatsink solution tailored to … [Read more...]
Top 7 FloTHERM V11 Features – #1: Joule Heating
FloTHERM V11 is now released and contains a wealth of interesting and useful features. In this blog series I'll select my favourite top 7 and explain each one in some detail. To start with, Joule heating, also know as resistive or Ohmic heating. Joule heating is the power lost to heat as electrical current flows down a conductor. I^2R, VI, we were all first introduced to this … [Read more...]
Cooling Matters
AIR FORCE INQUIRES ABOUT THERMAL MGMT.SOLUTIONS FOR FUTURE AIRCRAFT 8/11/15 - The U.S. Air Force is looking into new thermal management techniques to cool the electronics in future fighter aircraft. “Officials of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, issued a broad agency announcement Friday (BAA-AFRL-RQKP-2015-0002) for the Hybrid-Cycle … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts & Fairy Tales: Numerical Modeling without Supporting Experimentation
Peter Rodgers Fan modelling is one of the most critical aspects of the analysis of forced-air-cooled systems. Lasance [1] summarized the challenges of modeling air movers such as fans and key factors that need to be taken into consideration. Such factors include the need to model the fan hub, and to account for the swirl velocity coefficient. In addition to the above … [Read more...]
All You Need to Know About Fans
By Mike Turner, Comair Rotron A Basic Fan/Blower Description Fans can be thought of as low pressure air pumps that utilize power from a motor to output a volumetric flow of air at a given pressure. A propeller converts torque from the motor to increase static pressure across the fan rotor and to increase the kinetic energy of the air particles. The motors are typically … [Read more...]
