Journal ArticleDOI
Transient thermal impedance of semiconductor devices
E. J. Diebold,Werner Luft +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal behavior of a semiconductor device is referred to as the junction, and the analysis is expanded for long heating cycles by a simple lumped-component approach with limits of validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical characteristics of silicon solar cells and of coatings for temperature control
C.A. Escoffery,Werner Luft +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the control of cell temperature in terms of the absorptance and the emittance of solar radiation by the cell surface using measured values of spectral reflectance to 25 microns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stationary silicon solar cell converter calculations
TL;DR: In this paper, the required amount of silicon solar cells for a given power output is determined for any place on the globe; the optimum angle to which a stationary converter should be tilted; and how the required storage device capacity for continuous operation is calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal impedance of cooling fins
E. J. Diebold,Werner Luft +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for computing generally valid curves of normalized variables to determine the optimal design proportions for cooling fins of equal thickness and known heat transfer, eliminating the trial-and-error approach to find them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forward voltage drop and power loss in silicon rectifiers
TL;DR: In this paper, the instantaneous forward voltage drop of silicon diodes of different sizes and processes was investigated over four magnitudes of current density and the temperature influence was determined, and an expression of the average forward voltage and power loss as a function of current densities and conduction angle was developed.
