Computer cooling

Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within permissible operating temperature limits.

Computer fan

A computer fan is any fan inside, or attached to, a computer case used for active cooling, and may refer to fans that draw cooler air into the case from the outside, expel warm air from inside, or move air across a heat sink to cool a particular component.

Deep water source cooling

Deep water source cooling (DWSC) or deep water air cooling is a form of air cooling for process and comfort space cooling which uses a large body of naturally cold water as a heat sink.

Evaporative cooler

An evaporative cooler (also swamp cooler, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water.

Fan (machine)

A mechanical fan is a powered machine used to create flow within a fluid, typically a gas such as air.

Fin (extended surface)

In the study of heat transfer, fins are surfaces that extend from an object to increase the rate of heat transfer to or from the environment by increasing convection.

Heat

In thermodynamics, heat is energy transferred from one system to another as a result of thermal interactions.

Heat pipe

A heat pipe is a heat-transfer device that combines the principles of both thermal conductivity and phase transition to effectively transfer heat between two solid interfaces.

New!!: Air cooling and Heat pipe · See more »

Heat sink

A heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature at optimal levels.

Heater core

A heater core is a radiator-like device used in heating the cabin of a vehicle.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research.

Oil cooling

Oil cooling is the use of engine oil as a coolant, typically to remove surplus heat from an internal combustion engine.

Second law of thermodynamics

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time.

Thermoelectric effect

The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa via a thermocouple.

Water cooling

Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components and industrial equipment.
