Heat Sink and System Modeling Using CFD
July 30, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. (EDT)
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools have become simulation workhorses, enabling design engineers to tackle electronics cooling challenges on-the-fly. Some tips and tricks are invaluable in performing these analyses. Among them: the simplest methods of preparing a CFD model; the best techniques for meshing; and how to model a system’s components, such as fans and perforated plates. Attendees will learn about common and not-so-common issues in CFD, and how to overcome them.

Methodologies for Fan Characterization and Deployment within a System
August 27, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. (EDT)
Exponential increases in power dissipation are forcing engineers to rely more on fans as the solution to their thermal challenges. But fans are also common points of failure within a system. As the choice and use of fans become critical to system functionality, knowledge of fan characterization is essential. Participants will be provided with solid methodologies for characterizing fans and deploying them within a system.

LED Thermal Management in Commercial and Consumer Lighting Applications
October 29, 2009 at 11: 00 a.m. (EDT)
Why does thermal management matter? Excess heat directly affects both short-term and long-term LED performance. The short-term effects are color shift and reduced light output while the long-term effect is accelerated lumen depreciation and thus shortened useful life. Participants will learn how to diagnose and solve thermal issues in consumer and commercial LED applications.

Using Thermal Interface Materials to Improve Heat Sink Thermal Performance
November 19, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. (EST)
To cool hotter components, engineers are turning to larger fans and heat sinks and added surface area. But these hardware changes add significant cost to the design. Alternatively, a cooling system’s performance can be improved just by using a better interface material to lower thermal resistance at the interface of the case and the heat sink. Participants will learn to overcome thermal challenges by making simple and cost-effective changes in thermal interface materials.
