Shortly after beginning to work in the electronics cooling field (1985), I heard about visions of a paperless engineering environment. The benefits were obvious, especially when faced with what to do with desktop-sized plots and…read more
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Fixed Temperature and Infinite Heatsinking
December 6th, 2010
By Jim Wilson Associate Technical Editor In keeping with the name of this column, the fact worth reminding is that a fixed temperature boundary condition in a thermal simulation represents an infinite heat sink. The…read more
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Uncertainty is Assured
July 26th, 2010
Do you know the thermal conductivity of paper? This was the start of a phone call a few years ago. The conversation continued and the reason for the question became apparent. A thermal analysis of…read more
