2.4.5 Thermal Solution Performance Characteristics
The optimization of the cooling solution heatsink for thermal performance is completed and Figure
2-9 shows the thermal performance and the pressure drop through fins of the heatsink versus the
airflow provided. The best-fit equations for these curves are also provided to make it easier for users
to determine the desired value without any error associated with reading the graph.
