Thermal Measurements in Electronics Cooling

Filled with explanations, step-by- step instructions, and examples, this handbook focuses on real-world considerations and applications of thermal measurement methods in electronics cooling. 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. 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. TOC:Electronics Cooling and the Need for Experimentation, K. Azar.
