Abstract

This project aims to develop a computer program in Python to compare the thermal behavior of a computer processor utilizing a numerical method in different discretizations. To optimize the heat transfer calculations, the finite element method (FEM) was used, which is capable of calculating approximate solutions of the thermal problem for complex geometries, such as, for example, a processor subjected to critical operating situations at threshold temperatures similar to situations proposed by the manufacturer. The solution presented in this project is more accessible because it was executed using free of charge software
