Thermal Performance Analysis And Characterization For Mobile Radio

Steady natural convection flow field and its heat transfer of a mobile radio are very complex and three dimensional. Accurate and reliable numerical solution for low speed (at the magnitude of 1 x 10-1 m/s), transitional flow induced by the interaction between buoyancy force and gravity is yet a cha...
