Abstract
It is vital to calculate the flow rate when a cooling fan is applied to a cooling design of an electronic equipment. Usually, the flow rate is calculated by comparing a P-Q curve with a static pressure difference between front and back side of the fan. However, it is difficult to determine which location should be selected as the pressure evaluation point in a densely packed condition since the pressure field is not uniform. Thus, the accurate flow rate can not be determined through the conventional method. The objective of this study is to develop a cooling fan model that can be effectively employed for cooling design of electronic equipment.
