From the Author
When I was about 13 years old, I sat in on a college Fluid Dynamics class that my dad was teaching. He was sketching on the chalkboard and scribbling equations, describing how a siphon works. Then he turned to the class and asked, "OK, now tell me why you can't siphon boiling water."
The class looked at each other sheepishly, not responding.
"Because you'll burn your lips!" my dad chuckled.
Since that day I have never forgotten how I siphon works. (By the way, you can't siphon boiling water because the pressure in the tube at the highest point is below atmospheric, which allows the boiling water to flash into steam, which breaks the siphon like an air bubble. Don't try this at home! You'll burn your lips.)
The point is that the humor helped me learn the lesson. That is what I have tried to do in my book "Hot Air Rises and Heat Sinks." Part of my job is teaching heat transfer ideas to Electrical Engineers, who are not at all interested in the subject. So instead of a dry textbook, I have written a series of semi-fictional stories, that tell about various blunders and misconceptions that people have committed while trying to keep electronics cool.
It's technical, but it's funny. My mother-in-law, who is not an engineer, enjoyed reading it. "I think I even understand the temperature stuff, too," is her ringing endorsement. And if you do work in the world of electronics, here is your chance to have fun reading a book during work hours.
