摘要： A method and system for variable speed fan control for thermal management of a device includes disposing a first temperature sensor proximate a variable speed fan to measure an air temperature of inlet air Tair that cools the device by convection air flow. A controller is configured to compensate for changes in Tair by varying a convection coefficient (h) which is a strong function of air velocity to maintain the product of h*ΔT at a constant value, wherein ΔT is a temperature differential between the device (TAD) minus Tair. Thus, h is varied by varying air velocity by varying a speed of the variable speed fan.
