Free Thermal Engineering Training, Heat Sink Selection Made Easy, February 13, 2PM EST

NORWOOD, Mass. - Jan. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) will present Heat Sink Selection Made Easy, a free technical webinar for engineers involved in the thermal management of electronic components. The hour-long pre-recorded webinar begins at 2:00 ET on Thursday, February 13, 2014

Despite lower power processors from ARM, Intel, AMD and others, the heat dissipation needs of today’s systems continue to be increasingly challenging. Choosing the right heat sink the first time is essential to a products MTBF and performance. While trial and error can bring about a solution, a systematic engineering approach can be employed for a better and faster time to production solution.

In this webinar, attendees will learn the science of choosing the right heat sink.  Topics discussed will include the importance of targeting junction temperature; choosing the right geometry and style for a given application; attachment methods and how to solve thermal and mechanical design challenges; the pros and cons of various heat sink types; air flow; manufacturing challenges for heat sinks; heat sink optimization; heat sink characterization; calculating thermal resistance correctly; and many other topics.

The webinar is idea for mechanical engineers tasked with thermal engineering of electronic components; electrical engineers who need more depth of understanding on heat sinks and their use; and technologists working in prototypes or electronics repair who need expert level knowledge of how to use heat sinks in various electronics cooling applications

Presenting Heat Sink Selection Made Easy is Dr. Kaveh Azar, president, CEO and founder of Advanced Thermal Solutions. Dr. Azar is an active participant in the electronics thermal community and has served as the organizer, general chair and the keynote speaker at national and international conferences sponsored by ASME, IEEE and AIAA.
