An electronics cabinet populated with different components such as workstations, uninterrupted power supply, etc. is experimentally and numerically investigated. Experimental temperature measurements were taken on different locations surrounding the components using type-K thermocouples and a data logger over a period of 8 hours in which the cabinet was in steady-state. These measurements were then used to validate the numerical model created in commercially available computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS Icepak. First, the model for the Workstation – 1, one of the components inside the cabinet, is presented, since most of the information on its thermal behavior is available. Mesh independence analysis were done, and conservation of mass and energy were checked. Next, whole cabinet was modeled which consists of other components and rack frame within a domain of the size of a room. Steady-state Navier-Stokes equations were solved along with k-ε turbulence equations with variable material properties to account for natural convection effects. A grid-independent solution is obtained and validated using experimental measurements. The validated model used for investigating different front cover patterns with different openness ratios and solutions to prevent limit excess. Results show that blanking panels are viable solutions to prevent leakages, 85% open front cover can be used whereas 25% cannot be, and variable free-area ratio cover can be used only together with a blanking panel that prevents leakage from PDU outlet.

Heat dissipation from electronic packages on rotary platforms with the help of heat pipe networks
Çalışkan, Anıl; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
An electronics package on a rotary platform including two components with 600 W, one component with 350 W and one small component with 70 W heat dissipation rates (1620 W total heat load) is numerically and experimentally investigated under steady state conditions. In order to avoid rotary joints and to reduce the costs of design, maintenance and production, the thermal management solution for the heat dissipation is entirely placed on the rotary platform. The thermal management solution includes heat sinks...
Sinus Output 3-Phase Inverter Topology for Improved Drive Efficiency
Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2014-09-24)
Traditionally electrical drives and uninterruptable power supplies generate pulse width modulated outputs. Harmonic content of such waveforms are known to cause problems. Therefore, it is worthwhile to investigate 3-phase sinus output topologies, which can compete with traditional inverter topologies, regarding performance and cost. In this paper, first some topologies for producing single-phase sinus output are reviewed. Then, the possibility of using these single-phase units for producing 3-phase output i...
Characterization of spray cooling for electronic devices
Öksüz, Selçuk; Çetinkaya, Tahsin Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
The trends in electronics industry are towards miniaturizing and increasing power needs that result in high heat fluxes. High heat fluxes lead to thermal problems and performance loss in devices. Well known cooling techniques, such as utilization of fans or single phase liquid cooling, have limited cooling capacity. Among two phase cooling methods, spray cooling is one of the best cooling technique. Thus, in this study it is aimed to construct a compact and high performance yet simple experimental setup for...
Forced air cooling of CPUs with heat sinks: A numerical study
Ozturk, Ernre; Tarı, İlker (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-09-01)
A common ATX form factor personal computer system is modeled in detail. The flow and temperature fields inside the chassis are numerically investigated as a conjugate heat transfer problem. The computational effort is concentrated on the forced air cooling of the CPU using a heat sink. Three different commercial heat sink designs are analyzed by using commercial computational fluid dynamics software packages Icepak and Fluent. The grid independent, well converged, and well posed simulations are performed, a...
Cmos class e power amplifier modelling and design including channel resistance effects
Demir, İbrahim; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
CMOS is the favorite candidate process for the high integration of the wireless communication IC blocks, RF frontend and digital baseband circuitry. Also the design of the RF power amplifier stage is the one of the most important part of the RF CMOS circuit design. Since high frequency and high power simultaneously exists on this stage, devices works on the limits of the process. Therefore standard device models may not be valid enough for a successful design. In the thesis high frequency passive device and...
