Design of flow control device for dynamic cold plate and optimization of servers to decrease junction temperature of heat sinks
(2016-12-19)Electronics cooling research is facing the challenges of high heat flux removal and increased pumping power. Not much attention has been focused related to server and module level cooling. The continued increase in heat ... -
Design Of Next Generation Antenna Mounts In Telecommunication Towers With Low Effective Projected Area
Design of new antenna mount with low effective projected area (EPA) and high load carrying capacity for telecommunication towers is the purpose of this thesis. The main aim is to reduce the EPA of the mount against the ... -
DESIGN OF STREAMLINE-TRACED INLETS AND THEIR INTEGRATION WITH ROTATING DETONATION ENGINES
(2021-08-02)This thesis has two parts: 1) design of the streamline-traced inlets (STIs); and 2) integration of STIs with rotating detonation engines (RDEs). The STI design starts with a two-dimensional, isentropic compression flowfield ... -
Design Optimization And Synthesis Of Manipulators Based On Various Manipulation Indices
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)Design optimization of serial manipulators involves striking a balance between an appropriate joint angle and exact link lengths. The optimization technique used in this thesis uses a unique algorithm that optimizes the ... -
Design Optimization Of A Wind Turbine Blade
(Aerospace Engineering, 2011-07-14)This work focuses on designing a blade of 45 meters in length that produces a power of 1.6 MW. The design of the blade was done using the Blade Element Momentum theory and the Prandtl's tip loss factor was used. The ... -
Design Optimization of Pressure Vessel with Particular Design Considerations
(2016-12-19)The pressure vessels in industries are generally designed with a high safety factor because the rupture of a pressure vessel can be extremely dangerous. A vessel that is poorly designed or ineffectively designed to handle ... -
Design Optimization of Race Car Steering Knuckle for Additive Manufacturing
(2017-05-19)Additive manufacturing enables increased geometric complexity in structural configuration compared with conventional manufacturing methods. A Physics-first Computer Aided engineering (CAE) process beginning with structural ... -
Design Optimization Using Augmented Lagrangian Particle Swarm Optimization
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-07-14)Engineering optimization problems normally include multiple, non-trivial, non-linear constraints. Traditionally gradient based optimization methods were used to solve these types of problems because of their high computational ... -
Design, Analysis And Development Of A Morphable Wing Structure For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Performance Augmentation
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-09-17)In this research, we propose mechanisms to continuously morph a wing from a lower aspect ratio to a higher and to further extremities of a gull and an inverted-gull configuration. The mechanism comprises of a linear actuator ... -
Design, Calibration And Testing Of A Force Balance For A Hypersonic Shock Tunnel
(Aerospace Engineering, 2012-07-25)The forces acting on a flight vehicle are critical for determining its performance. Of particular interest is the hypersonic regime. Force measurements are much more complex in hypersonic flows, where those speeds are ... -
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A FLOW CONTROL DEVICE FOR DYNAMIC COOLING LIQUID-COOLED SERVERS
(2021-05-15)Since the early ’60s, based on Moore’s law, transistor density has been doubling every generation resulting in increased power density. Eventually, in the early ’90s, we moved from constant voltage to constant electric ... -
Determination Of Factors To Improve Effectiveness Of Triangulation Members For A Formula SAE Race Car Frame
(Mechanical Engineering, 2012-07-25)This thesis suggests which factors have significant effect on the torsional and flexural stiffness of a space frame without contributing excessively to its weight. These factors are used as design variables to display ... -
