Abstract
The present paper discusses a numerical study of natural-convection air cooling of single and multiple uniformly heated devices. A two-dimensional, conjugate, laminar-flow model is used. The solid and fluid physical properties are assumed constant (not varying with temperature). For the multicomponent cooling, the effects of component thickness, the spacing between components, nonpowered components, and highly powered components are studied to arrive at qualitative suggestions that may improve the overall cooling of a multicomponent system.Keywords
