THERMAL FACTS AND FAIRY TALES:
Published Thermal Conductivities Values: Facts or Fairy Tales?
Around 1980, when I joined the Heat Transfer Group at Philips CFT,
my boss threw a piece of material on my desk and asked for its thermal conductivity.
It took me a week digging in literature to discover that this was no easy question to answer,
despite the simple mathematics behind a steady state measurement: k=q/?T/A, with k the thermal conductivity,
q the dissipation, ?T the temperature difference across the test sample, and A the area.
All items at the right hand side are easy to measure, so it seemed.

New LED PCB Design White Paper Addresses Thermal Behavior of Entire System
The original objective of Clemens' Lasance new White Paper entititled "Basics of (PCB) Thermal
Management for LED Applications" was to lay a firm base for people who are involved in printed circuit board design for
LED applications to understand and predict the thermal behavior of their design. However, after reading the paper the
basic achievement will be the the notion that such a designer cannot focus on the PCB alone.
