Thermal analysis tools available to engineers and scientists offer a wide variety of methods to solve problems. A cursory review of the past decade’s issues of ElectronicsCooling magazine can show methods ranging from analytical techniques (such as hand calculations) to spreadsheets to full numerical/computational solutions such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA … [Read more...]
Military Demands Propel Thermal Management Solutions
Military programs continue to push the limits of computing system requirements necessitating rugged computer systems to continue to evolve to endure the toughest conditions. To meet these requirements, rugged subsystems suppliers have to produce innovative thermal management technologies that can withstand situations that may threaten a computer’s durability. Due to … [Read more...]
Affordable Solar Panels
Applied Nanotech has developed a way to make some solar technology cheaper, which could reduce the cost of solar panels. Solar panels are made up of a collection of solar wafers, and the company is attempting to make solar technology cheaper by creating a thinner silicon wafer, and a more efficient way to apply the metallic ink without breaking the wafer. Applied Nanotech has … [Read more...]
Underfloor Electric Heating. Part II – Infrared Thermography
3D simulation can provide a detailed prediction of temperature and heat flux values at 10s of 1000s of points in a 3D model, experimental methods are somewhat limited in terms of the wealth of data they are capable of providing. But hey, this isn't going to degrade into a pitched battle between simulators and experimentalists, nowadays good engineers (should) do both. "No one … [Read more...]
Underfloor Electric Heating. Part I: In by Christmas
It's been over two years since the foundations went in for the extension we're building on our house. In that time I've come to respect and somewhat rely on glib phrases such as "Good things come to those who wait" and "Patience is a virtue". I told my better half we'd be moved in by Christmas, I didn't say which one though. In this blog series of the time I used FloVENT to … [Read more...]
