Heatsinking is a common method to facilitate the removal of heat from a dissipating component, thus reducing source (junction) temperature….
The shape of the small piece of geometry that is added so as to successively ‘relieve’ the design determines the…
Adrian Bejan’s Constructal Law states: “For a finite-size system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such…
This is what a typical extruded fin heatsink looks like. It’s made of metal and sits on top of IC…
An appreciation of heat flow paths is a pre-requisite for good thermal design. If you attempt to augment heat flow…
Two different package styles, two very different thermal responses when a extruded plate fin heatsink is placed on each. At…
A common enough question. Heatsinks are often perceived to be the magic answer to all electronics cooling challenges. They should…
My colleague Ed and I were marvelling the other day at the CPU cooling unit from one of our training…
Automotive aftermarket modification has both mass appeal and a multi-million dollar turnover. Neon underbody lighting, enhanced radiator systems, aero-dynamic side…
