- Thermal Analysis
High temperatures can damage electronic components. This lesson analyzes the heat transfer in the chip assembly shown:
- Thermal Stress Analysis
This tutorial assumes that you have completed the Thermal Analysis lesson.
- Coffee Heater with Thermostat
The coffee pot is heated at its bottom by a 2000 Watt heat power source to keep the temperature of the coffee between 190 °F and 200 °F. Initially, the CoffeePot and the Top components are at room temperature (72 °F). The initial temperature of the Coffee is 195 °F. Heat is dissipated to the ambient by convection through the glass.
- Radiation Shield of a Liquid Metal Jet
This tutorial calculates the temperature of the shield. A jet of liquid metal at 2000 °C flows with a diameter of 4.5 mm. The jet is surrounded by a 2 mm thick radiation shield with 60 mm internal diameter.
- Thermal Resistance of Thin Epoxy Layers
Simulate the effect of an epoxy layer between the chip and the substrate as a distributed thermal resistance between the contacting faces.
