Effect of Geometric Scaling on Aerodynamic Performance
AIAA Journal, 2005 Miniaturization of modern electronics and simultaneous elevation in heat dissipation means that future compact electronic systems are likely to be too hot to be held in the users hand. As a result, novel compact cooling technologies are required. In systems such as mobile phones and palmtop computers, macroscale fans cannot be used to overcome this ...
