Does anyone have information on the design of heatsinks. Im lloking at using heatsinks to dissipate heat from circuits but need to know more about how best to design them. I would be grateful for any advice or direction to useful websites!
Cheers
Does anyone know much about them? what formulas to use to calculate resitance at certain temperatures.
any websites that can run me through the basics
thanks
ok yeah sorry for the confusion.
I'm relatively new to the field of electronics in regard to the heat output.
the heat outputted from a circuit in a car will only be a few watts though?
thanks
Thanks
Is there no calculation that I can do having made some assumptions and neglecting plate thickness and time etc.
I have already used the Laplace FD equation but this relies on the temperature at each side of the plate being constrained
thanks again
I need to verify some thermal models mathematically. A plate (100mm x 50mm) will be heated at one end, Normal ambient conditions apply.
I need to be able to calculate the temperature at points within the plate.
I would be grateful for any advice
Thanks
Hi
I'm looking for information on the temperature output of electronic circuits. I am to develop cooling methods but need to know what sort of temperatures i am dealing with.
I'm looking mainly at vehicles but only need a rough idea of what temperatures are seen.
Cheers
