Thermal Management of Electronic Systems II

The volume presents an overview of current developments in the thermal management of electronic systems. This has been seen as an increasingly important factor in current design methodology. The topics covered include thermal management in general, analytical and computational thermal modelling, thermal characterization of components, single and multiphase convective cooling, measurement techniques, thermomechanical modelling and thermally induced failure. Audience: Research and development engineers and scientists whose work involves the design and manufacture of electronic systems.
