Thermal Computations for Electronics Summary

Thermal Computations for Electronics: Conductive, Radiative, and Convective Air Cooling by Gordon N. Ellison (Portland State University, Oregon, USA)

The first edition of Thermal Computations for Electronics: Conductive, Radiative, and Convective Air Cooling was based on the author's lecture notes that he developed over the course of nearly 40 years of thermal design and analysis activity, the last 15 years of which included teaching a university course at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The subject material was developed from publications of respected researchers and includes topics and methods original to this author. Numerous students have contributed to both the first and second editions, the latter corrected, sections rewritten (e.g., radiation spatial effects, Green's function properties for thermal spreading, 1-D FEA theory and application), and some new material added.

The flavor and organization of the first edition have been retained, whereby the reader is guided through the analysis process for systems and then components. Important new material has been added regarding altitude effects on forced and buoyancy driven airflow and heat transfer. The first 20% of the book is devoted to the prediction of airflow and well-mixed air temperatures in systems, circuit board channels, and heat sinks, followed by convective (PCB-mounted components included), radiative, and conductive heat transfer and the resultant temperatures in electronic equipment. Detailed application examples illustrate a variety of problems.

Downloads (from the CRC website) include: MathcadTM text examples, exercise solutions (adopting professors only) plus PDF lecture aids (professors only), and a tutorial (Chapter 14) using free FEA software to solve a thermal spreading problem.

This book is a valuable professional resource for self-study and is ideal for use in a course on electronics cooling. It is well-suited for a first course in heat transfer where applications are as important as theory.

Thermal Computations for Electronics Reviews

Ive been amazed with the content of this book, which goes from the basics and teach you the basics principle of heat and thermal, but also give you very practical examples, which really give you a sense of how this works.
I hope that this book can be really useful, especially if youre interested in looking at cooling. And there are some great knowledge too, to gain from this book, especially if you want to understand not only how to simulate that, but also how to understand the physics behind it in the more natural manner, lets say without necessarily having to compute everything on the computer first.

You can use thermal networks theory, or you can use various things like that, that can help you to get an idea of the temperature into your system without having to compute everything first. And, I think this really helps for engineers who works with thermal.
