The Basics of Heat Transfer

Heat Spreading Heat spreaders offer cost-effective, reliable high thermal conductivity and efficacy with almost no moving parts. A heat spreader is an effective solution for dealing with heat sources that have a high heat-flux density (high heat flow per unit area)...

Thermal Radiation: Key for Natural Convection Solutions

Thermal engineers are radiant about the effects of thermal radiation. Thermal radiation is one of three modes of heat transfer, along with convection and conduction, so the more we know about this mode of heat transfer, the more effective we can use it to optimize our...

Solar Eclipse Thermals: Radiation’s Effect on Weather

We generally take regular events for granted. Sometimes, it’s only when our regular programming gets disrupted that we realize how much impact these everyday occurrences have on our lives. The big disruption in the US this summer is the total solar eclipse that...
