This paper presents a calculation model of the heat-transfer coefficients of successive IC packages on a printed wiring board. The air temperature around any downstream package increases from the inlet air temperature by the thermal wake of its upstream packages and therefore the heat-transfer coefficient decreases. The air-temperature distribution behind a single package was discussed in a previous report. By superimposing the temperature increase behind the upstream packages, an equation to predict the heat-transfer coefficients is proposed. The predicted values agree well with the experimental results.
