Modeling Multiple Heat Source Problems In Electronic Systems

May 1st, 2008

Introduction Readers of ElectronicsCooling know about the rapid pace of technological developments towards an increasingly higher level of miniaturization and, hence, an incredible increase of dissipation power densities. Thus, restating some very well known facts…read more

Estimating Natural Convection Heat Transfer for Arrays of Vertical Parallel Flat Plates

February 1st, 2002

A simple formula to estimate the natural convection heat transfer coefficient on a flat plate was presented in a preceding column [1]. If, instead of a single plate, we wish to consider a closely spaced…read more

Convection and radiation loss from a fin

January 1st, 1999

In last issue’s column, we discussed heat loss by convection and radiation from a printed circuit board in which heat spreads in a 2-D pattern. Here, we look at a slightly simpler situation, namely that…read more

Convection and radiation heat loss from a printed circuit board

September 1st, 1998

In last issue’s column, a method for calculating the thermal conductivity of a printed circuit board (PCB) was described. Now, we look at a more complicated heat transfer process, namely the loss of heat from…read more

Convection and radiation

January 1st, 1998

In last issue’s calculation corner,a simple 1-dimensional conduction calculation was described. This time, we look at the other two basic heat transfer processes, namely convection and radiation. In actual applications with multiple heat sources with…read more
