Optimisation of heatsink design for a ruggedised LCD display

The performance of two different types of heatsink design for a Liquid Crystal Display has been studied. Design of Experiments method was carried out to select 25 designs for each type, and the models were then analysed using computer simulation techniques to obtain the performance of the designs. The performance data were then used to construct approximate quadratic response surface equations which were used to find the optimal designs for each design type and to identify key design parameters.
