Abstract: A simplified methodology is developed for thermal analysis and design of printed circuit boards. It combines the use of computer-aided thermal network modeling and a simplified experimental ...

Abstract: Previous results from a stability analysis of natural convection in a water-saturated porous medium with externally imposed downward flow of the fluid and distributed internal heat generation are ...

Abstract: Parametric studies are performed on heat transfer in surface-mounted components of conduction cooled Standard Electronic Modules (SEMs). Thermal network models are developed for the various components ...

Abstract: A numerical study was performed to analyze steady laminar forced convection in a channel partially filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium and containing discrete heat sources on the bottom ...

Abstract: A software package called: INterfacing Software for Thermal ANalysis (INSTAN) is developed to interface finite element general purpose programs with finite-difference thermal network analyzers for ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from laboratory investigations on utilizing ultrasonic and subsonic vibrations to facilitate removal of fine clay particles from the subsurface. A sonicator and a laboratory vibrator were used ...
