In this two part lecture series, which is in an hour in total for both videos, Dr. Matthew Inman, Ph.D. provides an excellent introduction on how to design a heat sink including:
- Forced Convection
- Fin Spacing Optimization
- Optimizing for Fin Geometry
- Consideration for best materials for a heat sink
Dr. Inman covers quite a bit of material and really focuses on the analytical design piece, covering the equations in some detail. Its a great watch and helpful for engineers who need to brush up on heat sink design.
