Gas‐cooled reactors, particularly those utilising helium as a coolant, rely on natural convection and associated heat transfer processes to maintain safe and efficient operational temperatures. In ...

A self-propagating chemical reaction can transform a liquid monomer into a solid polymer and the interaction between the propagating front and the reaction’s natural convection leads to patterns in ...

Available in footprints from 2.0 x 2.0 in. to 5.0 x 5.0 in. and heights from 0.7 to 2.0 in., a line of aluminum heat sinks uses a novel flared pin-fin design that minimizes friction to improve natural ...

Even with all the hype about forced convection cooling, many applications in the electronics cooling industry still depend on natural convection cooling. The natural buoyancy of heated air allows ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Power electronic system designers know about natural convection, which starts with the simple statement: Hot air rises. For example, a power ...

Scientists have developed a multi-physics thermal model for panels with a natural convection cooling loop and tested it against experimental data. They have also experimented with varying the coolant ...
