AIR FORCE INQUIRES ABOUT THERMAL MGMT.SOLUTIONS FOR FUTURE AIRCRAFT 8/11/15 - The U.S. Air Force is looking into new thermal management techniques to cool the electronics in future fighter aircraft. “Officials of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, issued a broad agency announcement Friday (BAA-AFRL-RQKP-2015-0002) for the Hybrid-Cycle … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Historical Suggestions for Thermal Management of Electronics
Jim Wilson, Engineering Fellow Raytheon Company I have a small book in my office labeled “Suggestions for Designers of Navy Electronic Equipment, 1970 Edition” that was given to me several years ago by the editor at microwaves101.com (which happens to be a useful website if you are interested in microwave topics). The introduction states that any or all of this information is … [Read more...]
Advances in Vapor Compression Electronics Cooling
INTRODUCTION Over the last 10 years, there has been a well-documented increase in the energy density of electronic devices. As this energy density has gone up, so has the heat dissipation on electronics packages. In response to this challenge, significant research has taken place to develop chip level cooling systems to meet heat fluxes in excess of 1000W/cm2. As stated … [Read more...]
Liquid Helium Cools Superconductive Cables
Scientists at Florida State University have used helium gas to cool superconductive cables in a breakthrough that could enable the development of next-generation power systems for future naval ships with advanced weapons systems. The discovery was made as part of a research project examining the use of high-conductivity electrical cables in power applications for naval vessels … [Read more...]
Heating Up Nanodevices May Keep Electronics Cool
As electronic devices have grown smaller and more powerful, new thermal management methods have been created to help prevent them from overheating; however, researchers and engineers are in a constant race to come up with new methods to adequately manage the increasing amount of heat being generated by shrinking next-generation devices. Now, scientists at University of … [Read more...]
