High heating current dependence of the IGBT module junction-case steady state thermal resistance is investigated. The conception of the thermal resistance and the physical structure of the IGBT module and the thermal impedance test principle are briefly introduced. The junction-case thermal resistance can be deduced by Finite Element Method in the numerical simulator ANSYS. The transient therma...

Thermal resistance is a key technical index which indicates the thermal management of multi-chip module high power LED (MCM-LED) packaging heat dissipation system. In this paper, the prototype structure of MCM-LED packaging heat dissipation system is proposed to study the reliable thermal resistance calculation method. In order to analyze the total thermal resistance of the MCM-LED packaging he...

In order to determine appropriate cooling solutions for 3D chip stacks in various cases, it is important to have a better understanding of the total thermal resistance of a 3D chip stack. For this purpose, precise thermal resistance measurements and modeling of each component of a 3D chip stack are important. The thermal resistance of interconnection is considered to be one of the thermal resis...

Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...

in this paper, the effect of polypropylene fibers added to concrete on strength and thermal resistance of high strength concrete has been investigated. therefore, five tests have been carried out to reach this goal which it includes; effect of weight percent of polypropylene fibers on mechanical properties of concrete, effect of fiber’s length on the strength of high strength concrete, effect o...

Heat transfer through the gas diffusion layer (GDL) is a key process in the design and operation of a PEM fuel cell. The analysis of this process requires determination of the effective thermal conductivity. This transport property differs significantly in the through-plane and in-plane directions due to the anisotropic micro-structure of the GDL. In the present study, a novel test bed that all...

phenolic resins are synthetic low molecular weight thermoset resins which are polymerized and cured to higher molecular weights by condensation method. these resins have high weathering resistance, high oxidative thermal properties and good chemical resistance. phenolic resins can be cured thermally or by acid curing. the most common method of curing phenolic resin is by thermal curing that tak...

Homogenization of a simultaneous heat and moisture flow in a masonry wall is presented in this paper. The principle objective is to examine an impact of the assumed imperfect hydraulic contact on the resulting homogenized properties. Such a contact is characterized by a certain mismatching resistance allowing us to represent a discontinuous evolution of temperature and moisture fields across th...

The present heating method which uses the cooling system of the internal combustion engine of the vehicle takes a lot of time to heat the interior air. In order to improve the heating process, auxiliary devices are required. The new innovative techniques propose as auxiliary heating device positive temperature coefficient heaters. For a better control of the temperature, the parameters of these...
