Modern day data centers are operated at high power for increased power density, maintenance, and cooling which covers almost 2 percent (70 billion kilowatt-hours) of the total energy consumption in the US. IT components and cooling system occupy the major portion of this energy consumption. Although data centers are designed to perform efficiently, cooling the high-density components is still a challenge. So, alternative methods to improve the cooling efficiency has become the drive to reduce the cooling cost. As liquid cooling is more efficient for high specific heat capacity, density, and thermal conductivity, hybrid cooling can offer the advantage of …

Numerical Study Of Marangoni Convection And Mass Transport In Microdroplets, Viraj Parag Sabane
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses - Archive
Marangoni convection is a flow resulting from a surface tension gradient at air/liquid interface caused by temperature gradient, concentration of surfactant or applied electric field. Marangoni convection when caused by temperature gradient is also known as thermo-capillary effect. A microgravity condition presents an ideal case to study this phenomenon, since interfacial forces are dominant over body forces. Hence Marangoni convection inside the micro-droplet was studied both numerically and experimentally. The potential application at micro-scale includes particle separation, chaotic mixing inside the droplet and possible enhancement in liquid liquid extraction. To explore these application, firstly flow field inside a droplet was …

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses - Archive
Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a binary III/V wide band gap semiconductor used in power electronics for operations at high power densities and high speeds. GaN has excellent characteristics like high break-down voltage, high thermal conductivity, and high electron saturation velocity which have led to an intensive study and wide use of GaN in many fields. Some of these fields range from amplifiers, MMIC, laser diodes, pulsed radars and counter-IED jammers to CAT-V modules and fourth generation infrastructure base-stations. Currently GaN devices suffer from high temperature due to self-heating which reduces the mean time to failure. In this study package level …

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses - Archive
Arc-heated wind tunnels are the primary test facility for screening and qualification of candidate materials for hypersonic thermal protection systems (TPS). Via an electric arc that largely augments the enthalpy (by tens of MJ/kg) of the working fluid (Air, Nitrogen, CO2 in case of Mars-entry studies) passed through a converging-diverging nozzle at specific stagnation conditions, different regimes encountered in entry and re-entry hypersonic aerothermodynamics can be simulated. Because of the high-enthalpies (and associated temperatures that generally exceed the limits required by the thermo-structural integrity of the facility) the active cooling of the arc-heated wind tunnel’s parts exposed to the working …

Application Of Strand-Cartesian Interfaced Solver On Flows Around Various Geometries, Yushi Yanagita
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
This work examines the application of a high-order numerical method to strand-based grids to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. Coined "Flux Correction", this method eliminates error terms in the fluxes of traditional second-order finite volume Galerkin methods. Flux Correction is first examined for applications to the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations to compute turbulent flows on a strictly strand-based domain. Flow over three geometries are examined to demonstrate the method’s capabilities: a three-dimensional bump, an infinite wing, and a hemisphere-cylinder configuration. Comparison to results obtained from established codes show that the turbulent Flux Correction scheme accurately predicts flow properties such as pressure, velocity …

Numerical And Analytical Study Of Curvature Effects In Laminar Shock Wave/Boundary Layer Interactions, James Ray Grisham
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dissertations - Archive
Shock wave/boundary-layer interactions (SBLIs) are one of the most complex flow phenomena because of the different types of physics involved (i.e., viscous versus inviscid) and their side effects such as boundary layer separation and extreme localized heating. Control surfaces based on compliant mechanisms are becoming a reality and introduce an additional variable into the already complex SBLI, namely surface curvature. The purpose of the present work is to systematically study the effects of surface curvature on laminar, ramp-induced SBLIs. This is accomplished using numerical and theoretical approaches in the form of numerical solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations and triple-deck …

Composites have been introduced in aircraft industries, for their stronger, stiffer, and lighter properties than their metal-alloys counterparts. The general purpose of an aircraft is to transport commercial or military payload. Aircraft frames primarily maintains the shape of fuselage and prevent instability of the structure. Fuselage is similar as wing in construction which consist of longitudinal elements (longerons and stringers), transverse elements (frames and bulkheads) and its external skin. The fuselage is subjected to forces such as the wing reactions, landing gear reaction, empennage reaction, inertia forces subjected due to size and weight, internal pressure forces due to high altitude. …

Steady State And Transient Analytical Modelling Of Non-Uniform Convective Cooling Of A Microprocessor Chip Due To Jet Impingement, Swapnil D. Luhar
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses - Archive
Heat removal from microprocessor chips with multiple regions of dynamic heat generation remains a critical technological challenge. Excessive temperature rise is undesirable for performance as well as reliability. Jet impingement cooling has been widely investigated as a potential thermal management technique due to the capability of localized cooling and of dynamically following the heat generation distribution. A jet offers large local convective heat transfer coefficient, for which theoretical models and correlations have been proposed for a variety of scenarios. However, not much work exists on using this information to determine the resulting temperature distribution. This work addresses this need by …

Experimental And Computational Study Of The Acclimation Of New It Equipment, Neil Johnson Vazhappilly
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses - Archive
Acclimation of newly commissioned IT equipment is an important step that is necessary for safe operations. Proper acclimation is required to prevent an unnecessary condensation from forming and causing premature failure in the equipment. Acclimation is particularly important in cold weather shipping where the component or server reaches the destination well below the destination data center’s dew point, resulting in moisture and condensate. Operating the equipment before it acclimates might cause damage, while waiting too long for the equipment to acclimate might cost companies expensive computational time. This study tries to address the issue by studying the various factors that …
