Through entertaining anecdotes and stories based on his experience at Tellabs Operations, Inc. Tony Kordyban covers basic dimensions of heat transfer concepts--mostly from real problems which were incorrectly solved at least once before a correct technique was applied. The book's 31 chapters, each on an important and relevant topic, contain simple line drawings to help illustrate the basic concepts, while the text provides accurate and complete technical explanations. The book's case study approach makes it an extremely useful and handy reference--and Kordyban's clear and entertaining writing style mixes technical subject matter with humor and is both iinteresting and instructive. | | | |

 A good book for anyone who builds circuits on PC boards. Jan 12, 2000
By Robert A. Pease, Staff Scientist, NSC
Mr. Kordyban has brought out a great little book here: "Hot Air Rises and Heat Sinks". This book cleverly debunks many of the old myths about thermal management for circuit boards and rack-mounted equipment. If you like my writing, you'll like his. He's a great story-teller. This book is LITERALLY not of much use to an engineer who's designing an IC - but it WILL be of great use to the IC applications engineers who have to help the customer get the ICs built up on boards, and get the heat out. I recommend this book to anyone who builds circuits on PC boards, even if they only get a LITTLE warm. This book is specially good for educating young engineers - who have never had any chance to learn this in school. Kordyban USES computers - but does not just trust them - he checks the computer results with sanity checks and calibration tests and sample problems. Excellent technical writing, and fun to read. Good man!

What's wrong with me ? I now find thermal flow interesting ! Apr 30, 2003
By Not My Real Name
Curse Mr. Kordyban - he's get me all interested in thermal flow now. This book is great ! It flows [huh] really well, is relatively humourous (no, really), and gets across some basic lessons in electronics cooling. A must read for all you overclockers who are having to put bigger and bigger heatsinks on everything. I followed a few simple recommendations in this book, (just repositioning a few components and adjusting airflow) and now my computers run much cooler (and more stably). Now I can't walk into a datacenter without looking for the ac units, and checking for fans, drive positioning etc. This is a field that I'm convinced is going to be much more important in the future - this handbook is a great introduction to the field and some real practical things you can use right now. If you are looking for some honking big text book, this isn't for you. But who is ?

Refreshing Thermal issues Jul 11, 2001
By Michel Motard
Started reading, simply could not stop. Direct and to the point, this book based on real facts is simply refreshing, a great source of valuable technical information presented in a very easy to understand and "humorous" fashion, that will keep you going and going and going.I recommend this book to anyone brave enough to attemp thermal qualification of any type of electronic system, and many "real life" lessons are to be learned. A must in your collection of "got to have" titles !!!

Entertaining and educational. Jun 25, 1999
Our copy is with its third reader, with another three in line. I recommend it to anybody at all responsible for cooling electronics, with or without any background in heat transfer. Kordyban teaches heat transfer with practical examples, geared specifically towards electronics cooling. He debunks many myths and misconceptions along the way. The book really is entertaining, too. I laughed out loud. I wish more technical books were as enjoyable to read!

Excellent practical insight. Jan 13, 1999
This book was entirely appropriate for my current situation. I am working in a company that has antiquated perceptions in the way in views electronics cooling. About 90% of this book applied directly to my situations: fear of fans, semiconductor reliability, thermocouple difficulties, attitudes toward standards, experimental techniques, climate control systems.... the list goes on. My hat is off to the author. After getting a copy for myself, I bought 10 copies for others in the company. The book is easy to read, is very understandable, and has good technical content.
