Abstract:
1. A method of minimizing heat flow resistance, comprising the steps of: discretizing a domain into a plurality of elements, said plurality of elements formed of low conductivity materials, said domain containing at least one heat source; generating heat from said heat source within said domain, said generated heat associated with temperature gradient fields among said plurality of elements, wherein said plurality of elements are localized such that said generated heat is not uniform among said plurality of elements; establishing at least one thermal threshold of said plurality of elements within said domain, said at least one thermal threshold associated with said temperature gradient fields; assessing said temperature gradient fields of said plurality of elements; determining one or more elements from said plurality of elements with a temperature gradient field above said threshold; exchanging said one or more elements with associated elements formed of high conductivity materials, thereby creating a modified configuration of said domain; verifying whether said modified configuration satisfies A as a result of said modified configuration verified as true, performing the foregoing steps upon assessing said temperature gradient fields of said plurality of elements; as a result of said modified configuration verified as false, accepting said modified configuration as acceptable for minimizing maximum temperature of said domain, thereby minimizing heat flow resistance.
