Introduction to Phase Change Materials #PSBPcomfortSu Butcher
PCMs are materials that store and release large amounts of heat as they change phase from solid to liquid, allowing them to regulate temperature without itself changing in temperature. They effectively store latent heat of phase change within a narrow temperature range. Microencapsulation provides effective packaging of PCMs by creating a huge surface area for heat transfer when incorporated into building materials. This allows PCMs to function as thermal mass to buffer temperature in the comfort range, absorbing and releasing heat more quickly than conventional building materials but over a narrower temperature band. PCMs should be used in conjunction with insulation, shading, orientation and ventilation strategies to effectively control interior temperatures.
This document discusses phase change materials (PCMs) which can store and release large amounts of thermal energy during phase transitions between solid and liquid states. PCMs provide high energy storage density with small temperature changes. Thermal energy storage methods include sensible heat storage based on temperature change and latent heat storage using phase change. PCMs are classified as organic, inorganic, or eutectic and are selected based on properties like melting temperature and thermal stability. Applications of PCMs include construction materials, textiles, food/medical packaging, and automobiles.
Thermal energy can be transferred through three modes: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves the direct transfer of energy between particles in direct contact, such as in solids. Convection is the transfer of energy by the bulk movement of fluids like liquids and gases. Radiation transfers energy through electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium, allowing heat transfer through a vacuum like from the sun to Earth.
A Project report on Heat Conduction ApparatusZaber Ismaeel
Heat Conduction:
In heat transfer, conduction (or heat conduction) is the transfer of heat energy by microscopic diffusion and collisions of particles or quasi-particles within a body due to a temperature gradient. The microscopically diffusing and colliding objects include molecules, electrons, atoms, and phonons. They transfer microscopically disorganized kinetic and potential energy, which are jointly known as internal energy. Conduction can only take place within an object or material, or between two objects that are in direct or indirect contact with each other. Conduction takes place in almost all forms of matter, such as solids, liquids, gases and plasmas.
Thermal Conductivity of a metal:
Thermal conductivity is a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct heat, determined by the rate of heat flow normally through an area in the substance divided by the area and by minus the component of the temperature gradient in the direction of flow, measured in watts per meter per Kelvin. Symbol: K is used to denote thermal conductivity.
Introduction to transient Heat conduction, Lamped System Analysis, Approxiamate Analytical and graphical method and Numerical method for one and two dimensional heat conduction by using Explicit and Implicit method
This document describes an experiment measuring the thermal conductivity of a copper cylinder using a one-dimensional heat equation. The experimental setup involves running tap water through one end of a copper cylinder to cool it to 5°C while the other end is heated to 60°C to create a linear thermal gradient. Thermocouples spaced along the cylinder measure the temperature gradient as it cools, which is fitted to a numerical model to determine the thermal conductivity. The correlation between the model and experimental data increased from 0.995 to over 0.999 with adjustments to the boundary conditions.
Heat exchangers transfer heat between two or more fluids that are at different temperatures. They work by bringing the fluids into thermal contact through a conducting surface while preventing mixing. There are several types of heat exchangers classified by their heat exchange process, fluid flow direction, mechanical design, and physical state. A common type is the shell and tube heat exchanger, which consists of a shell with a bundle of tubes inside. One fluid flows through the tubes while another flows over the tubes to transfer heat between the fluids. Double pipe heat exchangers are a simpler design with one pipe inside a larger pipe, allowing fluids to flow within and between the pipes.

Phase-change materials (PCMs) can be used for thermal energy storage. PCMs absorb and release large amounts of energy as they change phase from solid to liquid and back. This latent heat storage allows PCMs to store more energy per unit volume compared to sensible heat storage methods. Effective PCMs for thermal energy storage applications should have suitable melting temperatures, heat of fusion, thermal and mechanical stability over repeated phase changes, and acceptable costs. However, challenges remain regarding material compatibility, conditioning, safety, and cost-effectiveness compared to other thermal energy storage options.

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER STUDY OF ELECTRO...ijiert bestjournal
Present - day interest in the thermal analysis of electronic circuit boards arises mainly because of the failure of such components as a result of thermal fatigue. A thermal/structural ANSYS model was integrated in this study to enable the predictions of the temperature and stress distribution of vertically clamped parallel circuit boards that include series of symmetrically mounted heated electronic modules (chips). The board was modelled as a thin plate containing heated flush rectangular areas representing the heat generating modules. The ANSYS model was required to incorporate the effects of mixed convection on surfaces,heat generation in the modules,and conduction inside the board. Appropriate convection heat transfer coefficients and boundary condition s resulted in a temperature distribution in the board and chips. Then structural analyses were performed on the same finite element mesh with structural elements capable of handling orthotropic material properties. The stress fields were obtained and compa red for the two models possessing different fibers orientations .

A Thesis on Design Optimization of Heat Sink in Power ElectronicsIJERA Editor
The heat sinks are used in electronic systems to remove heat from the chip and effectively transfer it to the ambient. The heat sink geometry is designed by the mechanical engineers with the primary aim of reducing the thermal resistance of the heat sink for better cooling in the electronic systems. Due to the proximity of the heat sink with the ICs, the RF fields created by RF currents in the ICs/PCBs gets coupled to heat sinks. Hence, the coupled RF current can cause radiated emission. This radiated noise from the device can couple and disturb the functioning of the nearby electronic systems. Also this radiated emission from the device poses a problem to the system compliance with respect to EMI/EMC regulations. The international EMI/EMC standards require the radiated emission from the electronic devices to be kept below the specified limits. As a result the design of Heat Sink is very important factor for the efficient operation of the electronic equipment. In this project design optimization of a Heat sink in a Power amplifier is performed to reduce the weight and size .Power amplifier is electronic equipment mounted in an army vehicle. The power modules inside the amplifier generates a heat of 1440 Watts and a temperature of 140 0c.Two Heat sinks are used to dissipate the heat generated inside the equipment and maintain a temperature of less than 850c. The existing heat sink which is being used is weighing around 10.3kgs and height of 51mm; as a result the unit is very robust. The objective of my project is To design & optimize the heat sink to reduce the weight and size. The optimized heat sink should also dissipate heat generated by power modules and maintain a temperature of less than 850c inside. To achieve the design a steady state thermal analysis will be performed on the heat sink and plot the Temperature distribution on the fins.

Heat Transfer Enhancement of Plate Fin Heat Sinks – A Reviewijtsrd
Heat sinks have been commonly used for cool electrical, electronic and automotive parts in many industrial applications. They are effective in extracting heat at high temperatures from surfaces. The reliability of such systems depends on the temperature of their operation. Heat sinks are important components of most of these devices thermal management systems, such as diodes, thyristor, high power semiconductor devices such as integrated inverter circuits, audio amplifiers, microprocessors or microcontrollers. This paper highlights the use of heat sinks in electronic cooling applications, and discusses relevant literature to enhance the heat transfer efficiency of plate fin heat sinks by modifying the surface, interrupting the boundary layer and shifting the path.

Review on Thermoelectric materials and applicationsijsrd.com
In this paper thermoelectric materials are theoretically analyzed. The thermoelectric cooler device proposed here uses semiconductor material and uses current to transport energy (i.e., heat) from a cold source to a hot source via n- and p-type carriers. This device is fabricated by combining the standard n- and p-channel solid-state thermoelectric cooler with a two-element device inserted into each of the two channels to eliminate the solid-state thermal conductivity. The heat removed from the cold source is the energy difference, because of field emitted electrons from the n-type and p-type semiconductors. The cooling efficiency is operationally defined as where V is the anode bias voltage The cooling device here is shown to have an energy transport (i.e., heat) per electron of about500 me V depending on concentration and field while, in good thermoelectric coolers, it is about 50-60 me V at room temperature.
This document presents a heat response model for a phase layered topology in a photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system. The PVT system is constructed to maximize electrical energy generation through fast removal of heat from PV modules. A new phase layered topology uses combinations of aluminum plates and heatsinks to transfer heat from PV modules to a thermal container. The heat transfer through each layer is investigated with and without water as a coolant. Experimental results show the PV temperature is reduced by around 10 degrees Celsius with this system, which is critical for improving PV performance by reducing wasted thermal energy and increasing electrical energy conversion efficiency.
Review on Design and Theoretical Model of Thermoelectricijsrd.com
This paper presents the theoretical development of the equations that allow to evaluate the performance of an air conditioning system based on the thermoelectric effect. The cooling system is based on a phenomena discovered by Jean Charles Athanase Peltier, in 1834. According to this when electricity runs through a junction between two semiconductors with different properties, heat is dissipated or absorbed. Thus, thermoelectric modules are made by semiconductors materials sealed between two plates through which a continuous current flows and keeps one plate hot and the other cold. The most important parameters to evaluate the performance of the device thermoelectric refrigeration are the coefficient of performance, the heat pumping rate and the maximum temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side of the thermoelectric module.
Experimental Studies on Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Using Alumina and Graphene...IRJET Journal
This document presents an experimental study on pool boiling heat transfer using alumina and graphene oxide nanofluids. The study tested different concentrations of alumina and graphene oxide nanofluids to determine their effect on critical heat flux during pool boiling. Scanning electron microscope images showed that higher concentrations resulted in a porous nanoparticle layer forming on the heating surface, which significantly improved critical heat flux. Alumina nanofluids achieved up to 56.27% higher critical heat flux than distilled water, while graphene oxide nanofluids achieved up to 51% higher critical heat flux. The experimental results indicate that nanofluids have potential to enhance pool boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux.

ABSTRACT
The present trend in the electronic packaging
industry is to reduce the size and increase the
performance of the equipment. As the power of these
systems increases and the volume allowed diminishes,
heat flux or density is spiraled. The cooling of
modern electronic components is one of the prime
areas for the application of thermal control
techniques. Of the many thermal-cooling techniques,
forced air-cooling being one such extensively used
technique due to its simple design and easy
availability of air. The present study is to design an
air cooled high power electronic system to dissipate
heat from selected electronic components.
A heat sink for removing heat from a heat source
such as an integrated circuit, a power supply, or a
microprocessor. The heat sink includes a base having
an airflow passage. The base is also adapted contact
at least a portion of the heat source. The heat sink
further includes a pad placed in thermal contact with
the base. The pad is configured with an array of
individual conduits positioned over the air flow
passage of the heat sink base. The array of individual
conduits permits air to flow from the air flow
passage, through the array of conduits.
1. INTRODUCTION TO THERMAL
MANAGEMENT
The term thermal management encompasses the
technology of the generation and control of heat in
electronic circuits. Heat is an unavoidable by product
of every electronic device and circuitry and is usually
detrimental to performance and reliability. Heat may
be generated by the devices themselves or may be
present from other sources, internal or external. The
trend in electronic packaging industry and subsystems
has been to reduce size and increase performance both
of which contribute to heat generation and
concentration. Evidence of this trend can be seen in the
higher levels of integration in semiconductors and the
increased usage of hybrids and multi-chip modules.
Placing more functions in a similar package has
resulted in higher heat densities, mandating that
thermal management be given a high priority in the
design cycle in order to maintain system reliability.
Clearly thermal management is one of the more
important tasks of the packaging engineer. Developing
a new systematic process leading to a thermal design
meeting the requirements of the circuits without being
excessive will result in a circuit meeting not only the
performance requirements, but the cost and the
reliability as well.
2. NEED FOR ELECTRONIC COOLING
Both the performance and reliability of electronic
circuitry are strongly influenced by temperature.
Exposure to temperatures beyond which the circuit is
designed to withstand may result in failure of the
circuit to perform to specification or in failure
altogether. The maximum temperature to which the
circuit will meet the electrical specification with power
applied, and the maximum storage temperature is
defined as the maximum temperature when the power
is off, to which the circuit may be exposed for a given
period of time without detrimental effects.
2. Page 185
Soft failures: Circuit continues to operate, but does not
meet specifications when the temperature is elevated
beyond the maximum operating temperature Circuit
returns to normal operation when the temperature is
lowered Failure is due to change in component
parameters with temperature.
Hard failures (short time): Circuit does not operate
Circuit may or may not return to normal operation
when temperature is lowered. Failure is likely due to
component or inter connection break down, but may
also be due to changes in component parameters with
temperature.
Hard failures (long term): Circuit does not operate at
any temperature. Failures are irreversible. Failures
may be caused by corrosion or intermetallic formation
or similar phenomenon. Failures may also be caused
by mechanical stresses due to difference in
temperature coefficient of expansion between a
component and substrate.
Soft failures happen as a result of the tendency of the
parameters of both active and passive components to
exhibit a degree of sensitivity to temperature. As the
temperature increases, the cumulative effects of
component parameter drift may eventually cause the
circuit output variables to deviate from the
specification.
Hard failures in the short run may occur as a result of
component overload as a result of excessive heat or as
a result of the breakdown of component attach or
packaging materials. Hard failures in the long term
may occur for a variety of reasons such as corrosion,
chemical reactions and intermetallic compound
formation all of which are accelerated by elevated
temperature. Hard failures may also occur as a result
of mechanical stress due to differences in the
temperature coefficient of expansion between two
materials joined together such as a component
mounted to a circuit board.
3. MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER
Electronic devices produce heat as a by-product.
Besides the damage that excess heat can cause, it also
increases the movement of free electrons in a
semiconductor, which can cause an increase in signal
noise. If semiconductor does not allow the heat to
dissipate, the device junction temperature will exceed
the maximum safe operating temperature specified by
the manufacturer. When a device does so its
performance, life and reliability are at stake.
Nature transfers heat in three ways: Convection,
Conduction and Radiation. A brief introduction about
the three is given below.
3.1. Conduction:
Conduction is the transfer of heat from an area of high
energy (temperature) to an area of lower relative
energy. Conduction occurs by the energy of motion
between adjacent molecules and to varying degrees, by
the movement of free electrons and the vibration of the
atomic lattice structure. In the conductive node of heat
transfer there is no appreciable displacement of the
molecules. In many applications we use conduction to
draw heat away from a device so that convection can
cool the conductive surface, such as in air-cooled heat
sink. For a one dimensional system, the following
relation governs conductive heat transfer:
Convection:
Convection is a combination of the bulk transportation
and mixing of macroscopic parts of hot and cold fluid
elements, heat conduction within the coolant media,
and energy storage. Convection can occur as the result
of expansion of the coolant media in contact with the
device. We call this free or natural convection.
Convection can also be due to other forces such as a
fan or a pump forcing the coolant media into motion.
The basic relationship of convection from a hot object
to a fluid coolant presumes a linear dependence on the
temperature rise along the surface of the solid, known
as Newtonian cooling. Therefore
3. Page 186
3.3. Radiation:
Radiation is the only mode of heat transfer that can
occur through a vacuum and is dependent on the
temperature of the radiating surface. Although
researchers do not yet understand all the physical
mechanisms of radioactive heat transfer, it appears to
be the result of electromagnetic waves and photonic
motion. How much heat is transferred by radiation
between two bodies having temperatures of TI and T2
is found by:
4. CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER IN
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
The molecular motion at the heat transfer interface is
the result of conduction through the stagnant thermal
boundary layer. Heat transfer through this layer is
based upon Fourier’s Law, dt = qL/kAc. In convective
heat transfer the engineer is faced with estimating the
heat transfer coefficient, hc, for a surface. Usually this
coefficient comes from texts of empherical formulae,
which are based on actual experiments and
observations. We cannot calculate the heat transfer
coefficient exactly because we can analytically solve
only the differential equations governing convection
for the simplest flows and geometries.
4.1. Fluid Properties:
4.1.1. Specific heat (Cp):
Every material has a thermal capacity. In the SI
system, we measure thermal capacity as the heat
required to make 1.0 kg of material 1.0°C warmer. In
the English system of units it is the temperature
required to increase the temperature of 1.0 Ibm of a
material by 1.0 of. Since this capacity is proportional
to a material’s mass, we call this the specific heat. We
use the specific heat of water as the reference standard
of one calorie per gram oC. Since a calorie is 4.184
KJ, the specific heat of water at 20°C can be expressed
in SI units as 4.184 kJ/kg K. The lower the specific
heat, the easier it is for the material to absorb heat
energy. This property is significant in calculating how
readily the fluid can absorb heat from an electronic
component.
4.1.2. Thermal expansion (α):
The thermal expansion of a fluid is especially
important in determining heat transfer under
conditions of natural convection. The temperature
differential between the electronic component and the
ambient environment causes the fluid to expand and
become less dense. Heat transfer has increased because
of the temperature induced motion of the fluid. When
we heat a material, although the internal cohesive
forces remain the same, the materials gain energy and
vibrate in larger paths. This is the cause of thermal
expansion. Just as the structure of a liquid allows
easier compression, it also allows greater thermal
expansion than a solid material. The coefficient of
thermal expansion is the increase in volume per degree
change in temperature.
Volumetric expansion can become detrimental in
applications that contain a fluid in a sealed enclosure.
Such applications are found in the “black boxes” used
to contain military electronic equipment. These boxes
self-seal when disconnected from a system. The fluid
inside the box may experience a temperature rise
during handling or storage. Since the liquid inside is
nearly incompressible, engineers must design the case
to with stand the internal pressure generated by the
expanded fluid.
4.1.3. Density (ρ):
Weight is an interaction of two bodies, usually earth
and an object. The weight of an object is proportional
to the object’s mass. Density is the object’s mass per
Unit volume.
A cubic centimeter of water, at 4°C has a mass of one
gram.
4. Page 187
4.2 Boundary Layer Theory:
The boundary layer phenomenon is found in both
natural and forced convection modes of heat transfer.
The fluid turbulence affects the thickness of the
boundary layer and therefore that rate of heat transfer.
The figure depicts a heated stationary surface at
temperature Ts, surrounded by a cooler, moving fluid,
at a bulk temperature of T, and free-stream velocity of
U. Note that the fluid velocity decreases closer to the
stationary surface. Since the fluid at the interface is
also stationary, Fourier’s conduction equation
determines the heat transfer through this region.
4.3 Laminar and Turbulent Flow:
An essential first step in the treatment of any
convection problem is to determine whether the
boundary layer is laminar or turbulent. Surface friction
and the convection transfer rates depend strongly on
which of these conditions exists. As shown in Figure,
there are sharp differences between laminar and
turbulent flow conditions. In the laminar boundary
layer, fluid motion is highly ordered and it is possible
to identify streamlines along which particles move.
Fluid motion along a streamline is characterized by
velocity components in both the x and y directions.
Since the velocity component v is in the direction
normal to the surface, it can contribute significantly to
the transfer of momentum, energy, or species through
the boundary layer. Fluid motion normal to the surface
is necessitated by boundary layer growth in the x-
direction.
In contrast, fluid motion in the turbulent boundary
layer is highly irregular and is characterized by
velocity fluctuations. These fluctuations enhance the
transfer of momentum, energy, and species, and hence
increase surface friction as well as convection transfer
rates. Fluid mixing resulting from the fluctuations
makes turbulent boundary layer thicknesses larger and
boundary layer profiles (velocity, temperature, and
concentration) flatter than in laminar flow. The
foregoing conditions are shown schematically in
Figure for velocity boundary layer development on a
flat plate. The boundary layer is initially laminar, but
at some distance from the leading edge, small
disturbances are amplified and transition to turbulent
flow begins to occur. Fluid fluctuations begin to
develop in the transition region, and the boundary
layer eventually becomes completely turbulent.
Where the characteristic length x is the distance from
the leading edge. The critical Reynolds number is the
value Rex for which the transition begins, and for flow
over a plate, it is known to vary from 105 to 3x105,
depending on surface roughness and the turbulence
level of the free stream.
This location is determined by a dimensionless
grouping of variables called the Reynolds number,
4.4 Natural or Free Convection:
When a surface is maintained in still fluid at a
temperature higher or lower than that of the fluid, a
layer of fluid adjacent to the surface gets heated or
cooled. A density difference is created between this
layer and the still fluid surrounding it. The density
difference introduces a buoyant force causing flow of
fluid near the surface. Heat transfer under such
conditions is known as free or natural convection.
Thus free or natural convection is the process of heat
transfer which occurs due to “movement of the fluid
particles high density changes associated with
temperature differential in a fluid” This mode of heat
transfer occurs very commonly, some examples given
below:
1. The cooling of transmission lines, electric
transformers and rectifiers.
2. The heating forums by use of radiators.
3. The heat transfer from hot pipes and ovens
surrounded by cooler air.
5. Page 188
4. Cooling the reactor core (in nuclear power plants)
and carry out the heat generated by nuclear fission etc.
In free convection, the flow velocities encountered are
lower compared to flow velocities in forced
convection, consequently the value of convection
coefficient is lower, generally by one order of
magnitude. Hence, for a given rate of heat transfer
larger area could be required. As there is no need for
additional devices to force the liquid, this mode is used
for heat transfer in simple devices which have to be
left unattended for long periods.
The rate of heat transfer is calculated using the general
convection equation given below:
In many systems involving multimode heat transfer
and therefore play an important role in the design or
performance of the system. Moreover, when it is
desirable to minimize heat transfer rates or to
minimize operating cost, free convection is often
preferred to forced convection.
5. CHOICE OF HEAT TRANSFER METHOD
Once the heat has been conducted from the electronic
component to the cooling fins, it must then be
transferred to the surrounding environment by one of
the following means:
Radiation and natural Convection.
Forced air cooling.
Forced liquid cooling.
Liquid evaporation.
The above list of heat transfer methods is arranged in
order of increasing heat transfer effectiveness. For a
given fin area, the least heat can be transferred by
radiation and natural convection, more can be
transferred by forced air cooling, even more can be
transferred by forced liquid cooling, and the most can
be transferred by liquid evaporation.
The list is also arranged in order of increasing cooling
system complexity. Heat transfer by radiation and
natural convection requires no auxiliary equipment just
the cooling fins themselves and is the simplest design.
Forced air cooling requires a fan and fan controls and
is more complicated. Forced liquid cooling requires a
pump. Coolant reservoir, cooling fluid, etc., and is
even more complicated.
5.1 Forced Air Cooling:
An order of magnitude increase in heat transfer can be
achieved by blowing air over the electronic
component, rather than relying on radiation and natural
convection. The price that must be paid for this
increased cooling is:
Increased system complexity, because a fan
and its associated equipment (such as ducting,
dust filters, and interlocks) are required to
force the air over the component.
Reduced electrical efficiency for the system,
because the fan requires electrical power.
Increased vibration and acoustical noise.
Obviously heat transfer by radiation and natural
convection should be used
5.2 Choice of the fan or blower.
These two problems must be solved jointly. The
amount of air flow that a particular fan can provide is
determined by the pressure into which the fan must
work. Both the amount of heat transfer that can be
obtained from forced air cooling and the pressure
required to force air through the cooling fins depends
on air flow and fin geometry. Consequently, the fin
design must be made in conjunction with the choice of
fan.
6. Page 189
5.3 Extended Surfaces
The trend in component design for airborne and a
space application has been and will continue to be
toward micro-miniaturization. Ordinarily, miniaturized
electronic equipment is also quite small. Furthermore,
air-which is inexpensive and often designer of
electronic equipment cooling systems is often faced
with the problem of cooling miniaturized, high heat-
dissipating components to a rather low temperature
with a fluid having definite heat transfer limitations.
This dilemma can be summarized as being one of low
(hS) product.
The coefficient of heat transfer can be improved in two
ways:
Use of a better fluid: This is often impossible
because of weight and installation
requirements. Use of a liquid coolant, for
example, requires a pump, a heat exchanger,
piping, valves, and possibly an expansion tank
or other appurtenances required for handling
the ultimate heat sink fluid.
Use of the available coolant fluid at a higher
velocity: This is often impractical because of
the increased power required to force the fluid
through the steam. Inspection of several
correlations will show that a two fold increase
in heat transfer coefficient requires a more
than twofold increase in fluid velocity. At the
same time, the twofold increase in fluid
velocity results in almost a fourfold increase in
pressure loss and possibly as much as an
eightfold increase in power required. Power is
weight, and because the fluid is circulated by a
pump, fan, or blower, large penalties in weight
must be expected under these circumstances.
6. ASSUMPTIONS
In the ensuing analysis the following simplifying
assumptions are made.
The heat flow is steady; that is, the
temperature at any point in the fin does not
vary with time.
The fill material is homogeneous, and the
thermal conductivity is constant and uniform.
The coefficient of heat transfer is constant and
uniform over the entire face surface of a fin.
The temperature of a surrounding fluid is
constant and uniform. Because one is dealing
with cooling, this temperature is always
assumed to be lower than that at any point on
the fin.
There is no temperature gradient within the fin
other than along its height. This requires that
the fin length and height be great when
compared to width.
There is no bond resistance to the flow of heat
at the base of the fin.
The temperature at the base of the fin is
uniform and constant.
There are no heat sources within the fin itself.
Unless otherwise noted, there is a negligible
amount of heat transferred by convection from
the end and sides of the fin. Note that in this
technology the faces of the fill are the surfaces
that dissipate heat.
