Current heatsink/fan combinations are one of my biggest pet peeves with computers. I've worked with electronics for quite awhile, and they all hate heat. WTF computer CPUs have fans that blow directly *down* on the heat sink is beyond me. You would get much more efficient cooling if the fan was mounted on the *side* of the heat sink [think rectangular heat sink here, not one of those silly cylindrical ones]. If the fan had an input duct running to the outside of the case, and an output duct also running to the outside of the case, processors would be kept much cooler for the same amount of energy expended in the fan.
Palladium (named after the asteroid Pallas, discovered about the same time; from the Greek Pallas, goddess of wisdom), Pd. atomic weight 106.4; atomic number 46.
Palladium is a steel-white metal, and does not tarnish in air, and is the least dense and lowest melting of the platinum group of metals. When annealed, it is soft and ductile; cold working greatly increases its strength and hardness. Palladium is attacked by nitric and sulfuric acid. At room temperatures the metal has the unusual property of absorbing up to 900 times its own volume of hydrogen, possibly forming Pd2H. It is not yet clear if this is a true compound. Hydrogen readily diffuses through heated palladium and this provides a means of purifying the gas. Finely divided palladium is a good catalyst and is used for hydrogenation and dehydrogentaion reactions. It is alloyed and used in jewelry trades. White gold is an alloy of gold decolorized by the addtion of palladium. Like gold, palladium can be beaten into leaf as thin as 1/250,000 in. The metal is used in dentistry, watchmaking, and in making surgical instruments and electrical contacts. The metal sells for about $100/tr. oz. [1984]
