When designing electronics, heat dissipated to the surroundings by micro devices is an important consideration because heat has a powerful and stringent effect on their operation and lifespan. When an ...

A Dutch research team has outlined a new method to assess the coefficient of performance of air-to-water heat pumps by considering ambient temperature and relative humidity. The model is based on the ...

A Li-ion battery pack (green T-shaped arrangement) in an electric hybrid must maximize power capacity but fit into a tight space, making cooling and temperature controls more critical. In front of the ...
