Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed to determine when a portable electronic device is moved within an enclosed space. A processor and memory may control a sensor may store code executable by the processor to measure a parameter at an inlet of the computing device. The parameter may include an airflow rate, an air temperature at the inlet, and/or a current supply to a fan of the computing device. The processor may execute code to determine when the parameter at the inlet reaches a threshold. When the processor determines that the measured parameter has reached the threshold, a signal from the sensor to the processor and/or from the processor to an operator may be sent, indicating that the threshold has been reached.
