On the basis of the classical heat transfer theory and its correlations, a nonlinear analytical model is established for the system and a numerical simulation is preceded for a set of experimental equipment. Active control, based on the best performance coefficient of TEM, is utilized for the system. Some experiments are carried out with a set of experimental equipment in high-low temperature circumstances.

Applications by market include commercial, military, and industrial electronics and semiconductor modules. Such materials must also meet requirements for stiffness and strength, to prevent distortion under typical clamping forces applied, and have low density relative to copper. Novel uses of carbon fibers and the latest experimental data are introduced, illustrating the use of such carbon fibers inserted into a proven, rigid structural metal matrix composite material that has known practical attributes: CTE compatibility, isotropic thermal conductivity, low density, and high stiffness and strength.

The results show that the non-dimensional airflow impedance curves for both chassis configurations predict minimal changes in air velocity with increased altitude for most of the Reynolds number ranges studied. However, for one chassis configuration studied, a slight decrease in air velocity is predicted with increased altitude. Because a nonconservative component temperature predictions at high altitude will result if constant air velocity is assumed, the decrease in air velocity should be accounted for if there are critical electronic components operating near their maximum temperatures.

Since the trend has been to reduce the physical dimensions of the electronics while increasing the effective display area with higher luminance and optical performance, the thermal design of this type of display product is a critical step in the design process. At the heart of one such display product is a high-pressure mercury arc lamp module, comprising of an arc tube and reflector housing. It dissipates roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the total power in a display enclosure. The methods used to cool a high power light source could have a dramatic effect on the performance and the reliability of the other electrical components within the display enclosure. This paper will discuss the thermal design of the light source, a custom-designed high-pressure mercury arc lamp module for a projection display used in an avionics application. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to characterize the heat transfer path from the plasma arc to the lamp's outer housing and rest of the electronics within the enclosure. A few of the higher end CFD companies have developed plasma capabilities within their codes. These codes typically do not have the functionality to solve electronics box type problems efficiently. On the other hand, the \"electronics specific\" CFD codes do not have the higher end computational capabilities or the ability to mesh complex geometry. Because of this, both a general purpose and an electronics specific CFD code were used to accurately predict the temperatures in a projection enclosure used for an avionics display. To establish the complete model, a series of optical measurements was conducted on a typical arc tube and real lamp to obtain the critical parameters that are too complicated or impossible to generate by modeling alone. These parameters include the total radiant power of the lamp, radiant power distribution in different wavelength range, and the optical properties of the optical surfaces. Also measured was the temperature distribution of the lamp at predetermined points in well-controlled conditions. This optical and thermal data are used in the modeling process so the model can produce consistent and convergent results.","PeriodicalId":409730,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Annual IEEE Semiconductor Thermal Measurement and Management Symposium (IEEE Cat.

Unlike the single-chip package, for which thermal resistance like /spl Theta//sub JA/ can be easily defined and measured, the presence of multiple heat sources in multi-chip packages makes the definition of thermal resistance impossible. In addition, multiple chip temperature typically needs to be measured at various power level combinations. In this paper, we studied a simple way to derive those chip temperatures by using the thermal resistance data from the equivalent single-chip packages. Our study is based on a comprehensive thermal evaluation of multi-chip packages. These packages contain 2 thermal test dice in a stacked fashion. Test samples were exclusively built based on 4 popular packaging types. Junction temperatures and board temperatures under standard JEDEC environment were measured using the Electrical Method and were correlated with the finite element-based detailed models. Based on an idealization of the heat transfer process, we derived a set of simple equations for approximating the junction and the board temperatures of stacked die packages. The only major input these equations require is the thermal resistance values of the equivalent single-chip packages, which are in general available. Therefore, no additional tests or simulations will be needed. In terms of accuracy, the new equations yielded promising results in most test cases although performance degradation does appear at certain package and boundary condition combinations.","PeriodicalId":409730,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Annual IEEE Semiconductor Thermal Measurement and Management Symposium (IEEE Cat.
