Applying computational fluid dynamics to heat sink design and selection
Abstract This article describes how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can help inthe selection and/or design of a heat sink for electronics cooling applications.CFD modeling complements the other tools in the thermal tool kit: calculationsbased on approximations and correlations; and experimental work. Whether theapplication includes single or multiple heat sinks, the … [Read more...]
DELPHI – A status report on the European -union funded project for the creation and validation of thermal models on electronic parts
The accurate prediction of the operating temperatures of critical electronicparts at the component-, board- and system-level is seriously hampered by thelack of reliable, standardised input data. The DELPHI project is addressing thisproblem by the development and experimental validation of thermal models of avariety of `generic' electronic parts. DELPHI (which stands for … [Read more...]
