Conduction
Heat transferring by solid medium
Convection
Transferring energy between solid surface and fluid Mass transport Natural (free) convection Forced convection
Natural convection & Forced convction
hc of air, natural convection: 0.0015~0.015 W/in2℃ forced convection: 0.015~0.15 W/in2℃

Radiation
Qa = εσAF1-2( Ts4 – Ta4)

Thermal Resistance
R=V/I
V: voltage = ΔT: temperature difference I: current = Q: heat
Conduction
Rk = ΔL/KAk
Convection
Rs = 1 / hcAs
Radiation
Ra = (Ts – Ta) /εσAF1-2( Ts4 – Ta4)

Basic Concepts for NB Thermal Design
Thermal Design Target
Thermal design must meet thermal spec. of CPU, all key components (HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, PCMCIA…), and all IC chips (Chipset, VGA, RAM, PCMCIA…), and all IC chips (Chipset, VGA, RAM, Audio…) in each user conditions
