An unfortunate consequence of our preoccupationwith things electrical is that the problems ofheat sinking and thermal management are frequentlyignored until forced on us by sound, sight, orsmell. The insatiable need to make things smaller– and the possibility of doing so by using higherfrequencies and new components and materials –aggravates the problem of heat transfer, becausesuch improvements in power densities are seldomaccompanied by corresponding improvements inefficiency. Thus we are stuck with the task ofgetting the same heat out of a smaller volumewhile disallowing any increase in temperature.
