	SQUARE ONE : Thermal Resistance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The value of the thermal resistance of a piece of material can be thought of as the temperature difference across it required to produce one unit of heat flow per unit area.
		Resistance on the other hand is an object property and depends on both the resistivity of the material and its overall thickness within that particular object.
		Resistance is usually given as an "R" value which is the resistance of one square metre of the material subject to a one degree temperature difference.

		Thus, the thermal resistance of the joint is directly proportional to the joint thickness and inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity of the medium making up the joint and to the size of the heat transfer area.
		Thermal resistance is minimized by making the joint as thin as possible, increasing joint thermal conductivity by eliminating interstitial air and making certain that both surfaces are in intimate contact.
		Thermally conductive compounds are an improvement on thermal grease as these compounds are converted to a cured rubber film after application at the thermal interface.

	thermal resistance: an oxymoron? - Article2.htm May, 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In practical circumstances, this resistance cannot be an invariant quantity designated by one number, because the orientation of internal conduction heat flow paths changes in response to changes in the thermal environment.
		However, in doing so, the resulting 'thermal resistances' lose their physical meaning completely, as argued in Ref. 4, and one may wonder if the term 'thermal resistance' should be kept, on account of the persistence of the analogy in the minds of most scientists and designers for some time to come.
		In all cases, a thermal resistance can be defined, but in many practical cases, the physical significance of the definition is meaningless, with the exception of those definitions which incorporate the ultimate heat sink (an ambient at uniform temperature) as one of the nodes.

	ESP - Heatsink design and transistor mounting
		Terms such as 'thermal resistance' and 'degrees C / Watt' are a little daunting for the uninitiated, and the purpose of this article is to explain how thermal transfer works, from the transistor die until it is finally dispersed into the atmosphere.
		Towards this end, an electrical analogue may be drawn, showing the thermal generator as a current source, thermal resistance as a resistor and the thermal inertia (or transient capacity) of the various materials as a capacitor.
		Although the thermal resistances for each of the transistors remain the same, the resultant thermal resistances for a "parallel pair" are effectively halved.

	Patents-Reducing The Thermal Resistance of CSPs and Flip-Chip ICs
		The thermal resistance is obtained by taking the reciprocal of the sum of the kA factors where A is the cross-sectional area for each layer in the thermal path and k is the thermal conductivity of the material.
		Because the intrinsic thermal resistance in the CPGA example is so poor, the external resistance of the heat sink to the ambient does not materially change the intrinsic thermal resistance.
		Thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the thermal conductivity of the various materials involved and/or by increasing the cross-sectional area.

		In particular, because thermal expansion is at least partially a function of temperature, the relatively greater temperature at the front bearing results in a relatively greater expansion of the front bearing, considered with respect to the expansion of the rear bearing.
		A thermal expansion differential between the front and rear bearings, can cause unbalanced, or otherwise improper, rotation and operation of the shaft which is supported by the bearings.
		Further, the extended surfaces permit a relative reduction in the thermal gradient along the length of the shaft, thereby contributing to improved heat distribution through the shaft, and reducing the operating temperatures in the front bearing.

	An Evaluation of the ThermoChill Radiators (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		For low air flow rates, the thermal resistance of the air side is much more important than the fluid side (except for low fluid flow rates).
		Increasing the fluid flow rate leads to an improvement for the convection heat transfer, thus a lower thermal resistance, of the fluid side but this is negligible as compared to the air side thermal resistance.
		Since the air flow resistance of the HE 120 series is the same per unit area, at the same backpressure the air flow volume of the HE 120.1 would be half of the HE 120.2, while the HE120.3 would be 50% more than the HE 120.2.

		After some time the power is turned off and the NTC resistor is used to measure the temperature and more importantly the negative slope of the temperature when the power is off.
		A high slope indicates that water is present to cool off the NTC through the thermal resistance of the NTC/steel connection, the steel itself and finally the water.
		Thats all fine because a sensor like this may not be as sensitive as the capacitive one because the impedance levels are lower and in case of water that penetrates the enclosure the effect of the volume conductivity will be minimal.
