by MP Divakar, PhD, Stack Design Automation Technical Editor, Electronics Cooling With many nations joining the race of sending satellites out to space, the number of orbiting space debris is increasing year after year. This NASA portal estimates the number of space junk as over 500,000 orbiting earth at speeds of 17,500mph or higher. Most of the half-million plus objects … [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...]
Heat Sinks Improved with 3D Printing
(July 18, 2016) The complimenting research done by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee Knoxville has found a way to improve the heat dissipation in electronics using 3D printing. According to 3DPrint.com, “[Oak Ridge] researchers are showing that 3D printed aluminum may be a more viable source for conducting heat than traditional materials. And at … [Read more...]
3D Printed Smartphone Case to Include Cooling Fans for Sustained Pokemon Go Play
(July 18, 2016) A 3D printed smartphone case that may better support and cool smartphones has recently been designed and prototype printed. Made to look like a real life Pokédex, SparkFun user NPOOLE created the battery pack with the intention of helping Pokemon Go players play for longer amounts of time. The case fits a Samsung Galaxy S4 and “hides a 2,600 mAh battery pack” … [Read more...]
3D Printed Heat Sink Performs as Well as Conventional Heat Sinks with Annealing Process
(July 8, 2016) Recently, Tong Wu, of the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, led a team of researchers who have discovered that manufacturers can create 3D printed heat sinks that can perform as well as conventional heat sinks by employing an annealing process. The research project compared the performance of 3D printed aluminum heat sinks to non-printed … [Read more...]
