3.2 Airflow Characterization
Figure 4 describes the recommended location for air temperature measurements
measured relative to the component. For a more accurate measurement of the
average approach air temperature, Intel recommends averaging temperatures
recorded from two thermocouples spaced about 25 mm [1.0 in] apart. Locations for
both a single thermocouple and a pair of thermocouples are presented.
