Abstract

The considered assembly consisted of a simulated printed-circuit board (PCB), in this instance a horizontal, thermally insulting base with uniformly spaced rectangular copper bars--hereafter referred to as ribs, used to mimic the behaviour of electronic components--protruding upwards from the base. The assembly was mounted in a thermally well insulated, rectangular-sectioned duct, so that air could be sucked solely over the upper surface of the simulated PCB; the horizontal ribs were arranged to be orthogonal to the horizontal mean air-flow. Steady-state heat-transfer performance data, showing the influence of the geometry of the system, were measured. A non-dimensional correlation, which can be used by designers to predict the steady-state rate of heat transfer from such a PCB assembly to the air flow, is for 8·5 x 102
