It is applicable to structures that can be likened to a set of homogeneous layers stacked one on top of the other and possibly separated by thermal contact resistances, where the dissipated powers are due to two-dimensional heat sources distributed on the interfaces between the layers. A broad range of contour conditions and types of dissipated powers is included to make the models as close as possible to the typical structures of modern assembly technologies.

In particular, the effect of the frequency of an applied square wave between 0 and 8 kV was studied. The flow visualization test section at the exit of the heat exchanger was made of quartz tube coated with an electrically grounded transparent conductive film of tin oxide. The flow regime transitions under the applied AC electric fields were recorded using a high speed camera at frames rates of 2000 frames per second for frequencies in the range of 4 Hz to 2 kHz. The experiments were performed at a mass flux of 55 kg/m2s, inlet and outlet qualities of 45% and 30% respectively, which correspond to stratified flow with the liquid level below the electrode (without EHD). At the low frequency range, both the heat transfer and pressure drop increased with an increase of frequency due to the periodic extraction of the liquid stratum. In the intermediate range of frequencies, the time period of the applied signals was less than the time needed to complete the extraction cycle, and therefore the heat transfer decreased while the pressure increased with an increase of frequency. In the high frequency range, the flow regimes approach those for the DC case where the effect of frequency is negligible on both heat transfer and pressure drop. This is mainly because the fluid medium cannot respond to the high frequency of the applied signals","PeriodicalId":346940,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Thermal Issues in Emerging Technologies: Theory and Application","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127055399","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}

With the power trends in the electronic cabinets indicating 60 kW cabinets in the near future, the current cooling systems of data centers will be insufficient and new solutions will need to be explored. Accordingly, the key issue that merits investigation is identifying and satisfying the needed specifications of the new thermal solutions, considering the design environment of the next generation data centers. Anchoring our work in the open engineering systems paradigm, the authors identify the requirements of the future thermal solutions and explore various design specifications of an ideally open thermal solution for a next generation data center. To approach an open cooling system for the future data centers, the concept of a thermal solution centered on the multi-scale (multilevel) nature of the data centers is discussed. The potential of this solution to be open, along with its theoretical advantages compared with the typical air cooling solutions is demonstrated through some scenarios.

The present study proposes an efficient mechanical refrigeration system to actively cool the electronic components populating a printed circuit board in high-power microelectronics system. The proposed system includes several miniaturized components - compressor, evaporator, condenser - part of a refrigeration system designed to fit the smaller scale power electronics. The system is thermally optimized to reach high COP (coefficients of performance). An array of micro-channels is used for the evaporator/condenser units. A previous study indicated that the R-134s refrigerant provides the best COP/feasibility ratio, while being the most suitable for microelectronics applications (Phelan et al., 2004). The present study develops an analytical model of the proposed small scale vapor compression refrigerator using the R-134a refrigerant. The refrigeration system is thermally optimized for cooling powers ranging from 20 - 100W, with the COP of the system reaching values up to 4.5. In the final section of the study, the efficiency of the proposed system is further compared to existing active cooling techniques using thermoelectric coolers (TEC). The advantages of the proposed system are highlighted, establishing a baseline performance vs. size relationship for vapor-compression refrigerators, to serve as the basis for comparison for future miniaturized refrigeration systems","PeriodicalId":346940,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Thermal Issues in Emerging Technologies: Theory and Application","volume":"2020 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128117298","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}

Solid-state micro refrigerators on a chip can provide a uniform and localized temperature profile and they are used as a test vehicle in order to compare the resolution limits of various microscale techniques. After a brief introduction to conventional micro thermocouples and thermistor sensors, various contact and contactless techniques will be reviewed. Infrared microscopy is based on thermal emission and it is a convenient technique that could be used with features tens of microns in size. Resolution limits due to low emissivity and transparency of various materials and issues related to background radiation will be discussed. Liquid crystals that change color due to phase transition have been widely used for hot spot identification in integrated circuit chips. The main problems are related to calibration and aging of the material. Micro Raman is an optical method that can be used to measure absolute temperature. Micron spatial resolution with several degrees temperature resolution has been achieved. Thermoreflectance technique is based on the change of the sample reflection coefficient as a function of temperature. This small change in 10-4-10-5 range per degree is typically detected using lock-in technique when the temperature of the device is cycled. Use of visible and near IR wavelength allows both top surface and through the substrate measurement. Both single point measurements using a scanning laser and imaging with CCD or specialized lock-in cameras have been demonstrated. For ultrafast thermal decay measurement, pump-probe technique using nanosecond or femtosecond lasers have been demonstrated. This is typically used to measure thin film thermal diffusivity and thermal interface resistance. The spatial resolution of various optical techniques can be improved with the use of tapered fibers and near field scanning microscopy. While sub diffraction limit structures have been detected, strong attenuation of the signal reduces the temperature resolution significantly. Scanning thermal microscopy which is based on nanoscale thermocouples at the tip of atomic force microscope has had success in ultra high spatial resolution thermal mapping.
