Cooling layers in rectangular heat-generating electronic regions for two boundary condition types: a comparison with a traditional approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical approach is used to determine and compare steady-state thermal characteristics of this internal heat transfer augmentation scheme for two thermal boundary condition types, where a rectangular three-dimensional solid-state heat generating volume is externally cooled from its surface in either one or two orthogonal directions.

Mathematical optimization: application to the design of optimal micro-channel heat sinks

TL;DR: In this article, a micro-channel heat sink embedded inside a highly conductive solid is optimized to minimize the peak wall temperature of the heat sink subject to various constraints such as manufacturing restraints, fixed pressure drop and total fixed volume.
Journal Article

Optimizing shaft pressure losses through computational fluid dynamics modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, a typical shaft configuration was analyzed and the primary energy consumers of typical shaft systems were identified, and a total of five shafts were instrumented and the actual pressure losses over the shafts plotted against time.

Maximum Net Power Output of the Recuperative Open and Direct Solar Thermal Brayton Cycle

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic trajectory optimization method is applied to maximize the net power output of the system by optimizing the geometries of the receiver and recuperator, limited to various constraints.
