Abstract: Electronics driven at high currents may experience local hot spots, which may cause thermal degradation or even catastrophic failures. This common problem occurs at lightemitting diode (LED) chips and it is not easily ...

Abstract: Seamless advancements in electronics industry resulted in high performance computing. These innovations lead to smaller electronics systems with higher heat fluxes than ever. However, shrinking nature of real estate for ...

Abstract: In recent years, light emitting diodes (LEDs) have become an attractive technology for general and automotive illumination systems replacing old-fashioned incandescent and halogen systems. LEDs are preferable for automobile ...

Abstract: Free convection air cooling from a vertically placed heat sink is enhanced by upward concurrent pulsated air flow generated by mesoscale synthetic jets. The cooling enhancement is experimentally studied. An enhancement ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on two forced convection methods—steady jet flow and pulsating flow by synthetic jets—that can be used in applications requiring significant amounts of heat removal from electronics components. Given ...

Abstract: While a number of liquids are preferred in many heating and cooling applications, their thermal capacity can be a limiting factor in many thermal systems. Therefore, a series of methods such as use of mixtures of two or ...

Abstract: Condensation heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) are rather low compared to thin film evaporation. Therefore, it can be a limiting factor for designing heat transfer equipment. In this work, heat transfer characteristics of ...

Abstract: In recent years, the interaction of unrestricted particles with dispersed multiphase flows has been linked to a number of important engineering applications. Among these applications, the novel idea of immersion-cooled ...
