Calculators

 

Circuit Boards
  • Effective Conductivity Model for Rectangular Heat Sources
    This model predicts effective conductivity from a rectangular heat source, based on the composition of the substrate and boundary conditions on the source.
    about:    [1],   [2]

Fluid Properties
  • Thermal Fluid Properties Calculator
    Properties of air, Ar, N2 and H2 calculated based on correlations developed by Frank McQuillan. Properties of CO2, H2O(l) and the ethylene glycols are based on the correlations developed by Tom Lemczyk. The calculator takes the temperature of the fluid as input and outputs an array of properties at 1 atm.

Heat Sinks
  • Natural Convection Model for Circular and Square-Finned Annular Heat Sinks
    Based on the Ph.D. research of C.S. Wang, this model predicts heat transfer from natural convection horizontal annular heat sinks. The online model incorporates both fin efficiency and radiation functions.
    about:    [1],   [2]

  • Natural Convection for Rectangular Heat Sinks
    This model predicts heat transfer from natural convection rectangular heat sinks. The online model incorporates a fin efficiency function, and allows for both single and back-to-back configurations.

Special Functions
  • Special Functions Calculator
    Calculates special mathematical functions, including Gaussian error and complementary error functions, gamma functions, and Bessel functions of integer or fractional order.
      

Spreading Resistance
  • Spreading Resistance Calculator for Circular Sources on Compound and Isotropic Disks
    Calculates the thermal spreading resistance for a circular source on an isotropic and two-layer circular disk, semi-infinite circular cylinder, or half space.
