Abstract
The increasing demand in subminiaturization and microminiaturization of electronic equipment has inevitably brought about increases in component and package densities. “Natural” cooling (heat sinks, free-air radiation, and natural convection) is no longer adequate for maintenance of operating temperatures within safe, or optimum, ranges. One practical solution is through controlled, forced circulation of cooling air by means of fan or blower.
