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...]
Rethinking Thermal Design Priorities in Electronics Packaging
Steady state operating temperature is a critical design parameter for ensuring the reliable operation of modern electronics systems. However, in practice it is but one of many factors that impact overall system health and performance. Modern challenges, like the large transient power draw associated with artificial intelligence (AI) workloads create the potential for more … [Read more...]
Regulating Temperatures in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: THERM-A-GAP CIP 35E
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...]
Measuring the Thermal Conductivity of Anisotropic Heat Spreading Materials
By: Aaditya A. Candadai, Aalok Gaitonde, Shanmukhi Sripada, Justin A. Weibel, Amy M. Marconnet Introduction New high thermal conductivity materials have been developed to enable enhanced heat transport within electronics packages and other thermal management applications. Many of these engineered materials have anisotropic thermal properties inherent to their fabrication, … [Read more...]
