Thermal challenges in next-generation electronic systems, as identified through panel presentations and ensuing discussions at the workshop, Challenges Next Generation Electronic Systems, held Santa Fe, NM, January 7-10, 2007, are summarized this paper. Diverse topics covered, including electrothermal multiphysics codesign of electronics, new nanostructured materials, high heat flux thermal management, site-specific design data centers, for military, automotive, harsh environment progress...
To improve the thermal performance of phase change materials (PCMs), graphite nanofibers were embedded into a paraffin PCM. The effects fiber loading levels (0–5wt%) and type (herringbone, ribbon, or platelet) during melting process examined for 131cm3 volume system with power loads between 3W 7W(1160–2710W∕m2). It was found that maximum temperature decreased as increased results fiber-structure dependent.
Solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) are attractive candidates for thermal energy storage and electronics cooling applications but have limited applicability in state-of-the-art technologies due to their low intrinsic conductivities. Recent efforts incorporate graphene multilayer into PCMs led the development of with remarkable values bulk conductivity. However, full potential as a filler material enhancement remains unrealized, largely an incomplete understanding physical mechanisms...
