Heat sink, ground

Because of the time limitations on the duration of an experiment and on the validity of the model employed, it is only relevant to consider wether irreversible behavior ensues for times less than or on the order of the time limit Tmax 16) we find relaxation for times < Tmax, then we call the phenomenon irreversible. In this case the discrete manifold 10, is an effective continum on the time scale relevant to the experiment the 10, then represent a dissipative heat sink. Because the system is considered for only a finite time rmax, all energy levels, except the ground state, must have some width in energy em as required by the uncertainty principle ... 

Graphite fiber reinforced polyimide or epoxy CTE matched to ceramic, patented Boeing process available, can be used as ground plane or heat sink Poor dielectric constant, anisotropy and microcracking problems, relatively thick, vias must be insulated... 

Phenomenological Description. Figure I shows a typical experimental setup for measuring freezing potentials and currents. The ice is grown on a platinum (or palladium) base or substratum that serves the double purpose of heat sink and electrical ground. A platinum electrode... 

Geothermal Heat Pump - A type of heat pump that uses the ground, ground water, or ponds as a heat source and heat sink, rather than outside air. Ground or water temperatures are more constant and are warmer in winter and cooler in summer than air temperatures. Geothermal heat pumps operate more efficiently than "conventional" or "air source" heat pumps. 

Thermally conductive films are used to bond heat dissipating components to heat sinks. Electrically conductive silver-filled epoxy films when used to attach substrates also serve as ground planes and provide RF/EMI shielding. They are also used in the high production automated attachment of leadframes to chips and to bond chips vertically in chip stacks. 

Variations in water content in soils and rocks that may not be readily apparent on black and white photographs often are depicted by false colour. In fact, the specific heat of water is usuaiiy two to ten times greater than that of most rocks, and this, therefore, facilitates its detection in the ground. Indeed, the specific heat of water can cause an aquifer to act as a heat sink that, in turn, influences near-surface temperatures. 

Decay heat removal is ensured by passive systems under natural primary and secondary coolant convection. Atmospheric air and/or ambient ground is used as an ultimate heat sink.

Carbon Composite Laminates. Another past approach was to laminate a low-expansion metal such as Invar into the ML-PWB.The Invar plane could double as a heat sink or a power/ground plane. This approach, however, added much weight and thickness to the product and is in limited use. 

GROUND plane A conducting surface used as a common reference point for circuit returns, shielding, or heat sinking. 

At present the Earth s temperature is not in thermal equilibrium, i.e., the net OLR is still not as high as generated net heat. Natural cold sinks in water, ground, and atmosphere slow down the effect of thermal pollution. The main sources of natural cold are in water and ice. The total volume of global water is 1.4 x 1018 m3, of which 94% is seawater while 3 x 1016 m3 (2%) of the water is ice in the form of glaciers and ice fields (Singh and Singh, 2001).
