16 Dec 1994TL;DR: In this article, an improved heat dissipation device was proposed for removing heat from a surface mounted integrated circuit component coupled to a printed circuit board in a portable computer, which is at least partially filled with a heat conductive material, improving heat transfer between a component and a heat-conductive block mounted on opposite surfaces of the circuit board.
Abstract: An improved heat dissipation device particularly suited for removing heat from a surface mounted integrated circuit component coupled to a printed circuit board in a portable computer. Vias, which are at least partially filled with a heat conductive material, improve heat transfer between a component and a heat conductive block mounted on opposite surfaces of the circuit board. A first section near one end of the heat pipe is attached to the heat conductive block in a channel formed receptive to the heat pipe. A second section of the heat pipe including the second end is attached to a metal plate which is affixed beneath the keyboard. Heat from the component flows through the vias to the block and is transferred by the heat pipe to the metal plate where it is dissipated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the analytical temperature distribution and efficiency of a heat pipe were derived and compared with experimental data, and the derived expressions are useful as a design tool to compare heat pipe designs to standard heat pipe design.
Abstract: Conclusions Expressions for the analytical temperature distribution and ef ciency of a heat pipe n were derived and compared with experimental data. Two heat pipe n cases were studied, ush mounted and inserted into the object. The derived expressions are useful as a design tool. They allow the designer to compare heat pipe ns to standard ns before doing a detailed heat pipe design. Further researchcould focus on variations in heat pipe design and geometry.Thesecouldincludenonconstantpropertiesandboundary conditions.For this work, the wall cross-sectionalarea, the internal convectioncoef cient, and the external convectioncoef cient were assumed constant. The impact of these assumptions on accuracy should be investigated. It would also be interesting to extend the analysis to ns in radiation environments.
