Abstract: An electronic device chassis skin temperature transient response prediction model is proposed. This model optimizes dynamic thermal control parameters using simulations. The thermal interaction between the chassis skin, chassis material and environment were analyzed and simplified into an energy balance equation. By solving this equation, chassis skin transient thermal response function corresponding to the processor temperature is established. The system prediction model was built after identifying the system parameters. This approach quickly establishesthe chassis skin temperature transient model for an electronics system without complicated calculations or time consuming CFD modeling processing. The experimental data shows the error is within 1.43 °C (9.1%) and 6000 prediction calculation seconds within the Microsoft® Excel™ environment. This model benefits engineers interested in electronic device optimizing system performance using simulations.
