Thermal Design: User Acceptance of Your Product – Part 2
In an earlier blog post, we discuss the importance of user product acceptance. We examined another gaming laptop product review that focused heavily on the thermal management solution and its shortcomings. The high performance laptop heated up in uncomfortable areas...
Thermal Radiation: Key for Natural Convection Solutions
Thermal engineers are radiant about the effects of thermal radiation. Thermal radiation is one of three modes of heat transfer, along with convection and conduction, so the more we know about this mode of heat transfer, the more effective we can use it to optimize our...
Buoyancy: The Driving Force of Natural Convection
What is Buoyancy? You’re already well aware and experienced in the effects of buoyancy. Buoyancy is what allows boats to float and hot air balloons to fly. It is the reason that the water in the ocean is separated from the air in the sky. This is due to the...
Solar Eclipse Thermals: Radiation’s Effect on Weather
We generally take regular events for granted. Sometimes, it’s only when our regular programming gets disrupted that we realize how much impact these everyday occurrences have on our lives. The big disruption in the US this summer is the total solar eclipse that...
