Design and optimization of 3D printed air-cooled heat sinks based on genetic algorithms

Conference Wu, Tong ; Ozpineci, Burak ; Chinthavali, Madhu Sudhan ; ...

Enhancing power density and reliability of powerelectronics is extremely important in power electronicsapplications. One of the key challenges in the design process isto design the optimum heat sink. In this paper, an algorithm isproposed to design air-cooled heat sinks using genetic algorithm(GA) and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations. While theGA generates a population of candidate heat sinks in eachiteration, FEA simulations are used to evaluate the fitnessfunction of each. The fitness function considered in this paper isthe maximum junction temperature of the semiconductordevices. With an approach that prefers “survival of the fittest”,a heat sink providing better performance than the conventionalheatmore »« less

Heating and Cooling Energy Modeling of 3D-Printed Concrete Construction of Residential Buildings [Slides]

Technical Report Shrestha, Prateek ; Speake, Andrew ; Horowitz, Scott

3D printed concrete construction (C3DP) is an emerging technology that comes with the associated benefits of high thermal mass walls. We investigated using BEopt software the heating and cooling energy use of a single story C3DP-constructed house. We then compared the heating/cooling energy use of the C3DP house against the corresponding energy use in a traditional timber (wood) frame construction (WFC), as well as a concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction. Both peak energy use for heating and cooling (Btu), as well as base energy use for both heating and cooling (MMBtu/yr) of the C3DP design were compared against the WFCmore »« less

Modeling a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger with RELAP5-3D for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant

Technical Report

The main purpose of this report is to design a printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant and carry out Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) simulation using RELAP5-3D. Helium was chosen as the coolant in the primary and secondary sides of the heat exchanger. The design of PCHE is critical for the LOCA simulations. For purposes of simplicity, a straight channel configuration was assumed. A parallel intermediate heat exchanger configuration was assumed for the RELAP5 model design. The RELAP5 modeling also required the semicircular channels in the heat exchanger to be mapped to rectangular channels. Themore »« less
