Purdue University researchers, led by Suresh V. Garimella, have developed a new design employing carbon Nanotubes and small copper spheres that wicks water passively towards hot electronics that could meet the challenges brought on by increasing frequency speeds in chips. The researchers came up with a design that uses water as the coolant liquid and transfers the water to an … [Read more...]
Six Cool Innovations for the Data Center
Computing industry veteran John Brandon explains six new products and technologies that promise to solve real data centre problems or are already working to make enterprise operations run more smoothly. They include fiber optics with a twist, submerged liquid cooling and horizontal racks; several broadband lines combined into one; multiple data centers more easily connected; … [Read more...]
Heat Sinks Contribute to Cool Silence
Silent-cooled graphics cards are becoming increasingly prevalent as PC hardware is becoming increasingly efficient. In silent cooling, a heat sink is installed in a model that engineers determine can remain safely cool without a fan. The heat sink pulls heat build up away from the graphics processor on the card, but since there are no moving parts involved in this cooling … [Read more...]
Series of Papers Illustrate Use of Thermal Simulation Technology in Design
NMB Technologies Corporation introduces a new series of informational engineering papers on how thermal simulation can aid, not only in the design of a system, but in anticipating the behavior of cooling components. In looking at the selection process of cooling components, in particular axial cooling fans, the first step for the engineer is to estimate the required airflow … [Read more...]
The Uses of Simplicity in Thermal Analysis
Bruce Guenin, PhD Editor-in-Chief, Summer 2010 Issue The dramatic trajectory of Moore’s law has produced a number of changes in key areas of technology that are critical to our industry: 1) greater packaging and system complexity; 2) increased power dissipation; and 3) enhanced software tools and computing performance. The first two we put into the challenge category. They … [Read more...]
