  2. Thermal management (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management...

    This term describes device cooling by the convection currents of the warm air being allowed to escape the confines of the component to be replaced by cooler air. Since warm air normally rises, this method usually requires venting at the top or sides of the casing to be effective.

  3. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within permissible operating temperature limits. Components that are susceptible to temporary malfunction or permanent failure if overheated include integrated circuits such as central processing units (CPUs), chipsets , graphics cards ...

  4. Fuel control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_control_unit

    For an aircraft engine, changes in airspeed or altitude cause changes in air speed and density through the engine, which would then have to be manually adjusted for by the pilot. A fuel control unit attempts to solve those problems by acting as an intermediary between the operator's controls and the fuel valve.

  5. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    More recently, in order to manage CPU power dissipation, processor makers favor multi-core chip designs, thus software needs to be written in a multi-threaded or multi-process manner to take full advantage of such hardware. Many multi-threaded development paradigms introduce overhead, and will not see a linear increase in speed when compared to ...

  6. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    Using the mean air temperature is an assumption that is valid for relatively short heat sinks. When compact heat exchangers are calculated, the logarithmic mean air temperature is used. The above equations show that: When the air flow through the heat sink decreases, this results in an increase in the average air temperature.

  8. Lean-burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean-burn

    The engine computer stores optimum air fuel ratios for all engine-operating conditions—from lean (for normal operation) to richest (for heavy acceleration) and all points in between. Full-range oxygen sensors (used for the first time) provide essential information that allows the computers to properly regulate fuel delivery.
