Better thermal design means better efficiency

October 4, 2016 By Lee Teschler 1 Comment

The strategic use of computational fluid dynamics can speed the development of high-tech products. BORIS MAROVIC, JOHN PARRY MENTOR GRAPHICS CORP. TRADITIONALLY, analysis using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) took place late in the design process once changes to part geometries had pretty much stopped. But CFD is starting to be applied at earlier stages of […]

CURRENT DIGITAL ISSUE

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
