Computational Studies Of Thermal Properties And Desalination Performance Of Low-Dimensional Materials, Yang Hong Aug 2019

Computational Studies Of Thermal Properties And Desalination Performance Of Low-Dimensional Materials, Yang Hong

Department of Chemistry: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

During the last 30 years, microelectronic devices have been continuously designed and developed with smaller size and yet more functionalities. Today, hundreds of millions of transistors and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor cells can be designed and integrated on a single microchip through 3D packaging and chip stacking technology. A large amount of heat will be generated in a limited space during the operation of microchips. Moreover, there is a high possibility of hot spots due to non-uniform integrated circuit design patterns as some core parts of a microchip work harder than other memory parts. This issue becomes acute as stacked microchips get …


Heat Transfer Simulation Of Vehicle Heat Exchanger In Plateau Environment, Xu Xiang, Wenchao Suo, Dingfu Yang, Surong Dong Jan 2019

Heat Transfer Simulation Of Vehicle Heat Exchanger In Plateau Environment, Xu Xiang, Wenchao Suo, Dingfu Yang, Surong Dong

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The effect of heat transfer caused by plateau environment in vehicle heat exchanger was investigated. The heat transfer equation for heat exchanger was modified by introducing air parameters at different altitudes. A heat transfer modeling approach for vehicle heat exchanger was proposed by using the thermal network method. The heat transfer effect of the plateau and the flow state of fluid medium were analyzed in the vehicle heat exchanger by using the simulation software FlowMaster. Simulation results show that the decrease of pressure and density of air in altitude was the primary cause to heat transfer ability. …
