Thermal-electrical circuit modeling is a well-established technique for the quantification of power dissipation in electronic devices and optimizing cooling means, but rarely used in building construction and facility energy management. In contrary to pure numerical simulations, equivalent circuit methods allow the derivation of useful formulas and rules of thumb. In most cases, modeling using electro-thermal analogy is limited to stationary considerations. The recent paper is understood as a short follow up of an earlier publication on the use of non-linear equivalent circuit techniques, extending the models by dynamic behavior and distributed parameters. We present refinements of the modeling framework. Also, the time and cost efficient use of commercially available electrical network simulation software is discussed.
The present paper is understood as a short manuscript to a graphical poster. It is a follow up to a recent paper on a project in arts and science with the privately owned Museum of Future in Berlin and the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation, which was celebrating 100 years of Kaluza's 5th Dimension in a geographically distributed interactive hybrid exhibition. The co-operation was continued and became inspirational for the students of a new master's degree program in electrical engineering. In the first group of students several student papers were involved in and inspired by our projects and delivered input. Two master's theses in progress are directly linked to the arts science topics. We demonstrate the surprisingly motivating effect of art projects on design and choice of topics by students, especially working part-time students.
