Thermal design enhancements in a thermally limited compact notebook system are investigated in this paper. System temperature, power, and fan speed are characterized under a range of activity levels. A finite element model is developed, and validated against measurements. Design enhancements improve cooling with minimum intrusion to the existing mechanical design. A passive secondary heat pipe in the system reduces the CPU temperature by 5 degrees C, and improves the system performance through increased CPU + Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) thermal design power (TDP) by 6.4%. When such a secondary heat pipe is considered with an integrated off-the-shelf Peltier cooler, the CPU temperature is only reduced by 2.3 degrees C and CPU+GMCH TDP is improved only by 4.9%. Although Peltier integration provides no benefit to thermals, it can be advantageous in generating small amount of thermoelectric power in conditions when the system is not executing thermally limited applications. Calculations suggest that a 10% increase in Seebeck coefficient and consequently a 5.5% increase in coefficient of performance (COP) of off-the-shelf thermoelectric materials can increase the TDP envelop by 7.1% using the Peltier-integrated secondary heat pipe scheme.

Passive Cooling Assembly for Flat Panel Displays with Integrated High Power Components Tarı, İlker (2009-08-01) Passive cooling of flat panel display designs with integrated high power components is investigated with the help of recently available semi-emprical and CFD based heat transfer correlations. A heat-spreader-heat-sink assembly is proposed for effective external natural convection cooling of the display panel. A flat vertical surface and plate finned heat sinks with various fin heights are considered as heat sinks in the assembly. Heat dissipation limits for both types of heat sinks are determined for variou...
Investigation of double-layered wavy microchannel heatsinks utilizing porous ribs with artificial neural networks Bayer, Özgür; Baghaei Oskouei, Seyedmohsen; Aradag, Selin (2022-05-01) © 2022 Elsevier LtdMicrochannel heatsinks with porous media, wavy and multi-layered configurations introduce compact designs and high efficiencies in cooling applications. Current Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based study bridges the concept by introducing a novel double layered microchannel heatsink with wavy up-down and porous ribs alongside each other. Since Artificial Neural Network (ANN) trained by CFD results reveals designs with better thermal and hydraulic performance with an insignificant comp...
Novel Reduced Switches Single-Phase to Three-Phase On-line Uninterruptible Power Supply Sharifian, Mehrnaz; Niroomand, Mehdi (2011-09-10) This paper describes design considerations and performance analysis of a novel on-line singlephase to three-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with reduced number of switches. The proposed topology uses only 5 active switches reducing the cost of the system compared to the traditional 10-switch topologies. The proposed UPS consists of a single-phase rectifier/charger, a hvo-leg/three-phase inverter connected to load, battery hank, DC link capacitor and an AC inductor. Detailed circuit operation and an...
Design of Fuel Cell and Electrolyzer Emulators for Photovoltaic Applications Koubaa, Ahmed; Krichen, Lotfi; Ouali, Abderrazak (2011-09-10) This paper focuses on the design of fuel cell and electrolyzer emulators used for photovoltaic applications. These emulators are based on power electronic circuits. The reference values of the two emulators are taken from fuel cell and electrolyzer mathematical models. In this study, proportional integral regulators are used. A power management is established to ensure a balance between production and consumption. The simulation results show the good performances of the two emulators to produce the electric...
Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...
