Thermal simulation of electronic systems using FloTHERM usually involve the definition of the 3D geometry and relevant material properties, specification of the power dissipation of the components as well as the ambient temperature that together lead to a numerical prediction of the resulting heat fluxes and temperatures. If the predicted component temperatures are too high … [Read more...]
PC Overclocking and Aftermarket Modding. Part II – Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking, How Cool is That?
I’m a big fan of product demonstrations. Having once been an application engineer, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of showing the use of a software like FloTHERM live in front of a prospect. Concentrating on highlighting the main features of the product whilst being bombarded with a barrage of questions about it is certainly a lesson in focus. At the Gadget … [Read more...]
LED Replacement Bulbs Compete for Spotlight
Two leading makers of lighting products showcased LED bulbs at Philadelphia’s LightFair trade show that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs. The new bulbs will also be expensive, about $50 each, so the development may not prevent consumers from hoarding traditional bulbs. Congress passed a law in 2007 mandating that bulbs producing 100 watts worth … [Read more...]
Ball vs. Sleeve: A Comparison In Bearing Performance
As consumers demand smaller, faster computer systems, OEM design engineers race to create systems with compact, more powerful microprocessors and chipsets. However, these compressed designs provide engineers with a new enemy…heat. In minutes, densely packaged microprocessors or compact electronic systems can generate enough heat to destroy years worth of work. A design engineer … [Read more...]
PC Overclocking and Aftermarket Modding. Part 1 – When Colour Matters.
Automotive aftermarket modification has both mass appeal and a multi-million dollar turnover. Neon underbody lighting, enhanced radiator systems, aero-dynamic side skirts and hood scoops are but some of the ways in which you can part with your hard earned cash for that unbeatable feeling of looking sideways at the person in the car next to you as you narrow your eyes and nod … [Read more...]
