6 Heat Transfer Module & English terms terms terms
The purpose of this glossary is that the new concepts that we are learning throughout the subject are as clear as possible. (Thermal analysis of heat sinks)
Heat sink
Noun.
A metallic heat exchanger designed to absorb and dissipate excess heat from one of the devices.
Example: A heat sink is a device commonly used to dissipate heat from a CPU in a computer.
es: Disipador de calor.
Mesh
Noun.
A group of nodes that represent the shape of the geometry.
Example: A conformal mesh is used for parts joined by glue or welds.
es: Malla
Poisson's ratio
Noun
The negative of the ratio of transverse strain to lateral or axial strain.
Example: For most common materials the Poisson's ratio is in the range of 0 - 0.5.
es: Coeficiente de Poisson
Static structural analysis
Noun
The loads, stresses, strains, and other physical loads are assumed to not changing extremely with the changing time.
Example: A static structural analysis calculates the effect of steady loading conditions on a structure.
es: Análisis estructural estático.
Temperature load
Noun
Characteristic that allows simulating temperature changes over the model.
Example: Temperature load provides valuable information on how the structure of the model deforms due to a particular temperature change.
es: Carga de temperatura.
Thermal expansion coefficient
Noun
The rate at which a material expands with an increase in temperature.
Example: Table 17-1 provides the linear thermal expansion coefficients of the most frequently used metals and allows.
