Overview Thermal Design Power (TDP) is a term commonly used in the thermal management of consumer electronics. While the usage of this terminology may vary across the industry, it commonly refers to the amount of power that a device may dissipate indefinitely, in a given thermal environment, without exceeding the temperature limits of the device. The TDP for a consumer … [Read more...]
A Figure of Merit for Smart Phone Thermal Management
INTRODUCTION With smart phones and other mobile devices available in a variety of sizes and shapes, it is challenging to think in a consistent and comparative manner about the effectiveness of the thermal management solutions that they employ. This is growing more important as the mobile and wireless industries and associated research communities explore novel mobile cooling … [Read more...]

On-site Cogeneration for Reducing Data Center Primary Energy Use
As most readers are aware, the data center industry has put an increased focus on energy efficiency and environmental impact. Data centers in the United States are estimated to consume nearly 2% of the total electricity. The de facto metric used in the data center industry to evaluate energy efficiency has been the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), as defined by The Green Grid … [Read more...]
Thermocouples Basics Part 2: How They Are Made and Its Measurement System
Continuing from part 1, and the advantages of thermocouples, we will now visit the process to make a thermocouple and its measurement system. The way thermocouples are made is very simple. We have a thermocouple welder, shown in Figure 1, as a small machine. The ends of the two wires are twisted to digital wires together, and then each set of wires touches to the point where … [Read more...]
