Abstract
A method of applying the porous media approach to evaluate the cooling performance of electronic equipment is proposed. A theoretical account is provided to show the simplifying aspects of adopting such an approach. Ways to plan experiments in order to evaluate the effective properties related to a particular electronic component are also demonstrate. The latter is an essential component in the application of the porous media approach.
