A low velocity, laminar jet of air is directly impinged on the surface of heat producing components such as a microprocessor chip. A laminar jet air flow has a very low mass flow rate and has a high convection heat transfer rate at the stagnation region of the flow. A fan or an actuator coupled to a tube can be used to provide laminar jet air on the heat producing component. For any apparatus that places a premium on conserving power, delivery of a low velocity, laminar jet provides an effective way to cool the components of the apparatus while only minimally draining its power source.
