Electronic components used in many non-computer related devices require cooling in order to operate effectively. While cooling of such devices does not pose difficulties as severe as those arising in computer systems, ensuring adequate thermal management can be challenging. Such components, e.g. those in industrial measuring systems, are often cooled by natural convection due to its high reliability and cost effectiveness. Adequate thermal management requires knowledge of the natural convective heat transfer rates that exist in situations arising in such devices. This research program aims to accomplish this by providing a wide range of important new basic information for use in the design of such cooling systems. Situations considered are simplified models of those occurring in real-world electronic component cooling. Components will be modeled as flat heated elements of various shapes embedded in a surrounding flat surface, and in most cases, assumed to be horizontal.

在许多非计算机相关设备中使用的电子部件需要冷却以便有效地操作。虽然这些设备的冷却不会造成像计算机系统中出现的那样严重的困难，但确保适当的热管理可能具有挑战性。这些组件，例如工业测量系统中的组件，由于其高可靠性和成本效益，通常通过自然对流进行冷却。充分的热管理需要了解在这种设备中出现的情况下存在的自然对流传热速率。该研究计划旨在通过提供广泛的重要的新的基本信息，用于此类冷却系统的设计来实现这一目标。所考虑的情况是那些发生在现实世界中的电子元件冷却的简化模型。组件将被建模为嵌入周围平坦表面中的各种形状的平坦加热元件，并且在大多数情况下，假设是水平的。
