Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles (HEVs & PHEVs) are becoming increasingly prevalent to reduce the environmental detriments produced by traditional combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The use of stored electrical energy as opposed to stored chemical energy (gas) requires the use of large battery packs to supply the electric drivetrain, and therefore the electric … [Read more...]
Choosing the Proper Thermocouple Types for Greatest Accuracy
Most engineers involved with temperature measurement know there are several methods for measuring temperatures of fluids and solids. The oldest and most common method for measuring the temperature of a fluid such as air is the standard mercury-in-glass thermometer. However, this is not acceptable for measuring surface temperatures of solid objects. For surface temperature … [Read more...]
Report About the THERMINIC 2024 Workshop
By Andras Poppe and Marta Rencz The 30th THERMINIC (Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems) workshop was held on 25-27 September 2024 in Toulouse, France at the Mercure Toulouse Centre Compans. Jean-Pierre Fradin (Icam, France) and Patrick Tounsi (INSA Toulouse & LAAS – CNRS) as local organizers and co-program chairs of the 2024 THERMINIC did a great job: Over 110 … [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...]
Hydraulic and Thermal Characteristics of a Double-Sided Cold Plate – Part 2
Tesla Tear Down, CFD Validation, and Machine Learning to Determine the Performance Limit This study investigates the hydraulic and thermal characteristics of the TESLA AUTOPILOT HW2.5 MODEL 3 Y, which features a double-sided cold plate with PCBs attached on both sides. We present a step-by-step teardown process of the unit, measuring internal dimensions, fin locations, … [Read more...]
