Large data centers today already account for nearly 1.31% of total electricity consumption with cooling responsible for roughly 33% of that energy consumption. This energy intensive cooling problem is exacerbated by the presence of hotspots in multicore microprocessors due to excess coolant flow...

A hybrid on-chip two-phase cooling cycle specifically designed to cool server boards with chips of high performance computers was experimentally evaluated considering steady-state and transient operation of two parallel pseudo-chips and auxiliary electronics mimicking a real server board....

This paper provides an exergetic analysis of a 10MW high concentration photovoltaic thermal (HCPVT) power plant case study located in Hammam Bou Hadjar, Algeria. The novel HCPVT multi-energy carrier plant converts 25% of the direct normal irradiance (DNI) into electrical energy and 62.5% to low...

We report the energy and exergy efficiencies of Aquasar, the first hot water cooled supercomputer prototype. The prototype also has an air cooled part to help compare the coolants's performances. For example, a chip/coolant temperature differential of only 15 °C was sufficient for chip cooling...
