Thermal evaluation of a PowerPC 620 multi-processor computer
Henry Wong,Tien-Yu Tom Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Computational Fluid Dynamics software program was used to determine the airflow and air temperatures at the system and board levels, and a heat sink was chosen based on estimated thermal requirements and then characterized experimentally under similar flow and geometry conditions found in the system.

High-Performance Heat Sink for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Inverters
TL;DR: Active heat sink (AHS) as discussed by the authors allows high-density electronic components to operate at a stable temperature over a broad range of ambient conditions by receiving heat at high flux and transferring it at reduced flux to environment, coolant fluid (e.g., air or engine coolant), heat pipe, or structures.

A comparative study of the thermal performance of primary mirror at the four typical sites
TL;DR: In this paper, a heat dissipation model was proposed to assess whether the material and thickness of the primary mirror of a telescope design exceed the upper constraint of the requirement in terms of the four typical sites: Dome A of Antarctica, Ali of Tibet, Mauna Kea of Hawaii and Chajnantor of Chile.

Thermal modeling of the module integrated DC-DC converter for flexible thin-film PV modules
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermal behavior of a DC-DC converter integrated into a flexible PV module, and developed analytical thermal models of the PV module and the integrated converter that will allow to quickly predict the reached system temperatures for a set of PV modules and converter specifications and boundary conditions.
