Modern electronics thermal management faces considerable challenges in the wake of component miniaturization, which has led to higher demands on net heat flux dissipation. With the industry closely following Moore's Law, the future demands are becoming increasingly more challenging [1]. Two-phase passive devices are proven present day solutions. Conventional heat pipe … [Read more...]
Heat pipe fundamentals
The use of heat pipes in thermal management is increasing rapidly as power densities in electronics continue to rise. Heat pipes are attractive because they can typically carry 100 or more times as much heat as an equivalent piece of solid copper. The basic principle of heat pipe operation is very simple. A small amount of working fluid, typically water, is sealed inside a … [Read more...]
