Forced Convective Heat Transfer from a Channel Between Vertical Electronic Circuit Boards.

Using the PCBCAT to Model Convective Heat Transfer from Electronic Devices on Printed Circuit Boards

Introduction The Printed Circuit Board Convection Analysis Tools (PCBCAT) are computer programs for predicting the thermal performance of convectively cooled printed circuit boards. The flow field is obtained by solving the depthaveraged (DA) momentum and continuity equations for the fluid layer above the electronic components. The twodimensional DA velocity field data is then incorporated into...

Numerical Simulation and Parametric Study of Forced Convective Condensation in Vertical Channel

Forced convective condensation in vertical channel is investigated numerically. The condensation boundary layers that occur due to temperature difference between the walls and saturation temperature of steam is simulated by the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The effect of variations in the hydraulic diameter, steam velocity, Re number and temperature difference between the wall and saturation te...

Natural Convection Heat Transfer From Horizontal Cylinders in a Vertical Arra Confined Between Parallel Walls

Laminar natural convection from an array of horizontal isothermal cylinders confined between two vertical walls, at low Rayleigh numbers, is investigated by theoretical and numerical methods. The height of the walls is kept constant, however, number of the cylinders and their spacing, the distance between the walls and Rayleigh number have been varied. The optimal spacing (confining walls) and ...

Numerical Simulation of the Laminar Forced Convective Heat Transfer between Two Concentric Cylinders

The dual reciprocity method (DRM) is a highly efficient numerical method of transforming domain integrals arising from the non-homogeneous term of the Poisson equation into equivalent boundary integrals. In this paper, the velocity and temperature fields of laminar forced heat convection in a concentric annular tube, with constant heat flux boundary conditions, have been studied using numerical...
