Altering MOR-based BCI CTMs into Delphi-like BCI CTMs

A novel method is proposed for altering MOR-based BCI CTMs into equivalent Delphi-like BCI CTMs. The temperature rises and powers injected at the ports of such Delphi-like BCI CTMs are respectively the spatial averages of the temperature rise distribution and the fluxes of the heat flux density over a small set of surfaces in which the boundary of an electronic component or package is partitioned. As a main advantage, unlike the original MOR-based BCIs, the resulting Delphi-like BCI CTMs can be coupled to the thermal model of the surrounding ambient, as done with original Delphi BCI CTMs, without having to take into account the spatial shapes assumed in the model for either the temperature rise or the heat flux density over the boundary.
