Removing waste heat from electronic assemblies using a circulating liquid coolant is a common and effective method with a long and successful history, especially in avionics and data center applications. The choice of coolant depends on many factors including corrosion resistance, cost, thermal properties, regulatory constraints, thermal stability, and environmental temperature … [Read more...]
Comparison Of Heat Transfer Rates Of Different Nanofluids On The Basis Of The Mouromtseff Number
Nanofluids are dispersions of nanometer-sized particles in a base fluid such as water, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. In the last decade, nanofluids have attracted more attention as a new generation of coolants for various industrial and automotive applications. Use of high thermal conductivity metallic nanoparticles (e.g., copper, aluminum, silver, gold, etc.) … [Read more...]
