Managing heat for electronics
نویسندگان
چکیده
important aspect of computer design, with device performance being significantly affected by temperature. In addition, device lifetime can be decreased drastically because of large thermal stresses that occur especially at interfaces. The ability of a structure to remove heat is best quantified by its thermal resistance, which is given by the temperature difference divided by input power. In microprocessor design, the allowable temperature drop between the transistor (where most of the heat is generated) and the ambient air is constant. As a result, the challenge for thermal management is to develop high-conductivity structures that can accommodate this fixed temperature drop with the increasing power densities that characterize new generations of microprocessors.

متن کاملApplication of Boiling Heat Transfer to High-Heat-Flux Cooling Technology in Power Electronics
Boiling heat transfer is a superior heat transfer technology using the latent heat transport with phase-change. However, it has been difficult to employ as a cooling technology for electronics because the unstable transition boiling and film boiling with excessive high temperature are impossible to control. In highly subcooled boiling, the coalescing bubbles formed on the heating surface collap...
