Magnetically-Stimulated Flow Patterns Could Boost Heat Transfer
Magnetically-stimulated fluid flow patterns may offer a new method for handling difficult heat transfer problems by overcoming natural convection limits, according to new research from scientists at Sandia National Laboratories. Convection cooling, which refers to the transfer of heat between two places by the movement of fluids, is often forced in many modern cooling systems … [Read more...]
Potential Pitfalls of Hybrid Electrical-Thermal Measurements for Thermal Characterization
Anurag Gupta, David H. Altman, Daniel P. Resler Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems Introduction Electrical resistors are often used to simulate heat-dissipating electronic devices in thermal characterization of semiconductor devices. This article describes a study in which test measurements and analysis were conducted in steady-state conditions to characterize the thermal … [Read more...]
