thermal design

Thermal design involves creating systems and components that effectively manage heat to ensure proper operation and longevity. It considers heat sources, material properties, and environmental conditions to prevent overheating or excessive cooling. The goal is to maintain optimal temperatures for equipment, whether by using cooling methods like fans, heatsinks, or insulation, or by designing components that dissipate heat efficiently. Good thermal design helps improve performance, safety, and durability of devices such as electronics, engines, or buildings by controlling how heat is generated, transferred, and removed.
