Abstract: The incessant improvements in IC technology have made it possible to conceptualize “information appliances” providing nearly unimaginable scalar, vector, and massively parallel information processing ...

Abstract: The inherent advantages of forced air cooling have led to the widespread use of fully and partially shrouded heat sinks for the thermal management of high power microprocessors. The superior ...

Abstract: The rapid emergence of nanoelectronics, with the consequent rise in transistor density and switching speed, has led to a steep increase in microprocessor chip heat flux and growing concern over ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis approach is developed and used to efficiently evaluate and optimize the boiling performance of longitudinal rectangular plate fin heat sinks, including the explicit ...

Abstract: The effort described herein extends the use of least-material single rectangular plate-fin analysis to multiple fin arrays, using a composite Nusselt number correlation. The optimally spaced ...

Abstract: The compression process necessary for the liquefaction of natural gas on offshore platforms generates large amounts of heat, usually dissipated via sea water cooled plate heat exchangers. To ...

Abstract: Recently, available formulations of thermally enhanced polymer composites are attractive in heat exchanger applications due to their low cost and improved corrosion resistance compared to the ...
