Abstract Extreme conditions in interplanetary environments, like lunar night at -173°C and Martian dust storms, require new thermal control systems that go beyond traditional electronics cooling approaches. Martian dust consists primarily of iron-oxide and silicate particles with diameters ranging from 1 to 3 μm. These particles are electrostatically adhesive, capable of … [Read more...]
Augmenting Development of Electronics Cooling Technologies with Machine Learning Tools – a Heat Pipe System Example
The traditional pathway for development of thermal management technologies for electronics has been to analyze using heat transfer theory augmented by computational tools such as finite difference or finite element methods, CFD tools, or thermal management system simulation tools, sometimes in tandem with prototype system fabrication and testing. Combining recently available … [Read more...]
7 Most Common Myths About Heat Pipes
Overview Over many decades, Boyd has led innovation of superior heat pipe and two-phase thermal management solutions across many major industries from mobile and consumer electronics to NASA applications and next-generation enterprise and 5G equipment. We’ve observed many misconceptions about heat pipes, how they work, and how to best utilize them in applications while working … [Read more...]
Blue Laser Welding Increases Vapor Chamber Fabrication Efficiency
We all understand that higher circuit density and increasingly compact microelectronic devices have created a need for more efficient cooling. Vapor chambers have emerged as a widely employed solution in some of the most demanding microelectronics applications. They are already found in high-performance computers, such as servers, workstations, and personal gaming desktops and … [Read more...]
Summary of the IEEE ITherm 2023 Conference
The IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) was held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes, Orlando, FL, May 30 – June 2, 2023. This was the 22nd ITherm, which was first held in 1988. The conference was historically held every other year until 2016 when it switched to an annual schedule. ITherm 2023 was sponsored by the … [Read more...]
