Introduction The evolution of modern automotive engineering is defined by a single, escalating conflict: the demand for massive computing power versus the shrinking physical space available to house it. As vehicles transition from mechanical machines to "computers on wheels," the thermal management of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has moved from a secondary … [Read more...]
Spacecraft Thermal Control in Extreme Environments: Surviving Lunar Night and Martian Dust
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...]
Simulation of Two-Phase Microchannel Heat Sink Performance: Refrigerant, Inlet Conditions, and Hot Spots Effects
Introduction The introduction of large language models (LLM), such as ChatGPT, has made artificial intelligence highly accessible. One of the key driving forces behind this growth has been the advancement in the processing power of compute devices such as central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). An increase in this processing power is … [Read more...]
Thermal Design for Externally Worn Wearable Electronics
Introduction Thermal management plays a critical role in the performance, reliability, and longevity of wearable devices. Reliability must be considered even when components remain below their absolute maximum operating temperatures. This is due to increased diffusion rates, material fatigue, and electromigration effects which degrade electronics over time. Additional failure … [Read more...]
