The flow is described by Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations and k-e model with wall function treatment. The prediction for flow and heat transfer characteristics has been made and compared with published experimental results. The computational results showed good agreement for performance parameters such as Nusselt numbers and Coefficient of pressure with experiments. The investigation is performed for Reynolds number values of 5000 and 15,000, and for two different geometrical configurations. Flow and heat transfer characteristics with varying parameters are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":309904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronics Manufacturing","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114795833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These heat sinks are characterized by extremely high surface area per unit volume of working fluid and low thermal resistance. This paper documents the modeling methodologies and the results of the numerical investigation on a laminar forced convection in a heated microchannel. A conjugate heat transfer model was set up using a commercial software STAR-CD to investigate the localized flow and heat transfer in a microchannel. The model was then solved using typical flow, heat transfer and dimensional parameters. The temperature distributions in both the solid and fluid region and the flow field in terms of velocity and pressures were shown and discussed with the help of the numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":309904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronics Manufacturing","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131464970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tests were performed to determine the overall heat transfer under conditions of only jet impingement, only crossflow and combined jet with crossflow, for several fin geometries. Results are presented in terms of necessary pressure to drive the flow as well as in terms of the jet and channel Reynolds numbers. Nusselt number correlations indicated the ability to optimize the jet and crossflow with the fin geometry to obtain specific heat transfer conditions.","PeriodicalId":309904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronics Manufacturing","volume":"478 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124405257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disassembly of a product at the end of its useful life is an integral part of the ECDM paradigm. Disassembly facilitates the end-of-product life options such as recycling, remanufacture, reuse and safe disposal. As industries take active steps to move to a \"greener\" economy, the emergence of dedicated disassembly facilities is foreseeable. The increasing variety of new products requires that these disassembly factories be able to handle a wide spectrum of products. Today, dedicated disassembly facilities exist for disassembling high value products such as computers and automobiles. However, the flexibility of a disassembly facility is particularly important to accommodate the disassembly of moderate to low value, and high variety consumer products. We address this issue by proposing a framework for the formation of product groups based on their disassembly characteristics as a step towards increasing the flexibility of disassembly factories. A two-level hierarchy of generic disassembly characteristics has been employed to evaluate the similarity of diverse products. We have used a modified version of the \"growing neural gas\" neural network model to classify the products. The first level or primary Disassembly Product Groups (DPGs) are obtained based on similarities in product structure. They are further subdivided into secondary DPGs based on the disassembly resource requirements of the products. An implementation for the disassembly-oriented grouping using a few example products has been carried out for demonstration purposes.","PeriodicalId":309904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronics Manufacturing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115533653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DT can be used to identify the precedent relationships that define the hierarchy of the product's structure (which in turn, represents the order in which components can be retrieved). DfDI can be used to analyze the merits and drawbacks of different product designs. The index offers designers with an important measure to help improve the future products.

In this paper, the results of a beneficial cooperation between industry and university in the area of environmental evaluation and optimization of products is presented. The developed Design for Environment (DFE) tool \"Green Design Advisor\" (GDA) is currently implemented as a best practice DFE-tool into industry. As the knowledge about the end-of-life behavior of a product is essential for the environmental evaluation, a specific method for the end-of-life simulation is an important issue of the paper. Furthermore, the integration and enlargement of this end-of-life related evaluation into a DFE-method is described. The resulting tool also includes features to detect environmental product design weaknesses, by using special characteristic values that have been developed. Those allow, along with a tailored integrated optimization sequence, the efficient use of the software to achieve significant design improvements.","PeriodicalId":309904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronics Manufacturing","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114416679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
