The IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) was held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes, Orlando, FL, May 30 – June 2, 2023. This was the 22nd ITherm, which was first held in 1988. The conference was historically held every other year until 2016 when it switched to an annual schedule. ITherm 2023 was sponsored by the … [Read more...]
Statistics Corner: Weibull Distribution
A little over a pandemic ago, the first article in this series on statistical analysis mentioned that a fundamental aspect of statistics is that one assumes a mathematical model that describes the distribution of a data set and then uses that model to estimate the probability that a given value or set of values will occur [1]. This allows us, for example, to estimate whether … [Read more...]
Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Correlations for Manifold Microchannel Heat Sinks
Written by: Sevket U. Yuruker, Raphael K. Mandel, Amir Shooshtari and Michael M. Ohadi - Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland Conventional microchannel cooling has been proven capable of removing high heat fluxes, but usually at significant pressure drops. On the other hand, manifold microchannel systems offer high heat transfer coefficients/heat … [Read more...]
Breaking Grounds with Generative Design for Two-phase Cooling of Electronic Devices
Since the size of electronic components keeps on decreasing, the need for improved heat dissipation on these components keeps increasing. This dichotomy presents thermal engineers with a formidable challenge: how to design smaller coolers that dissipate more heat. Adding to the challenge, the fast-paced evolution of electronics means that the development time for the new cooler … [Read more...]
Electric Motor Thermal Management for Green Transportation
Introduction Stringent greenhouse gas-emission legislations have accelerated the electrification of ground and air transportation. Since the electric motor is one of the core components of the electric drivetrain, improving its performance is a key enabler to better performance metrics of an electric drivetrain, i.e., higher power and torque density, better fuel economy (lower … [Read more...]
