Synopsis
Thermal Measurements in Electronics Cooling familiarizes readers with the concept of electronics cooling and the thermal phenomenon associated with it. Fifteen recognized experts in thermal engineering from industry and academia have contributed chapters that provide a "hands-on" reference on the subject, and focus more on the practical side of electronics cooling than on the theoretical side. Important points of measurement and the associated parameters are highlighted. The reader is then introduced to the reasoning and why an experimental investigation is required versus other analysis techniques. The rest of the book focuses on the methods associated with measurement techniques of different parameters.
Each Chapter Provides:
-- Description of the concept
-- Examples, when relevant
-- Sources for procuring equipment
-- Table of references for more in-depth treatment of pertinent topics
-- "How-to-Do" List
-- Checklist of correct steps in measurement
-- Calculation procedure for expected errors in a measurement process
Synopsis
Filled with careful explanations, step-by-step instructions, and useful examples, this handbook focuses on real-world considerations and applications of thermal measurement methods in electronics cooling. Fifteen experts in thermal engineering combine their expertise to create a complete guide to this complex topic.
This practical reference covers all aspects of thermal characterization in electronics cooling and thermal management. The first part of the book introduces the concept of electronics cooling and its associated thermal phenomenon and explains why experimental investigation is required. Subsequent chapters explain methods of measuring different parameters and introduce relevant examples. Sources for locating needed equipment, tables, checklists, and to-do lists are included. Sample calculations and methodologies for error analysis ensure that you can put this valuable information to use in your work.
