... the benefits of any data center design and operational strategies seeking to improve efficiency, such as temperature controlled fan algorithms. Using the models previously developed by the authors, this paper extends the analysis to include the electronics within the rack through considering the processor heat...

...Patrick A. Walsh; Edmond J. Walsh; Ronan Grimes This paper analyzes the scale effects that occur in miniature centrifugal flow fans and investigates the possibility of optimizing blade geometry so that performance can be enhanced. Such fans are typically employed in small scale heat sinks...

... areas resulting in elevated heat fluxes. With regard to cooling such devices, the most popular choice is to integrate a fan driven heat sink, which for portable electronic devices must have a low profile. This paper presents an experimental investigation into such low profile cooling solutions, which...
