Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model assessing the potential of ionic wind as a heat transfer enhancement method for the cooling of grid distribution assets. Distribution scale power routers (13–37 kV, 1–10 MW) ...

Abstract: This paper presents the thermo-economic limits of ambient heat rejection in vertical fin arrays with buoyancy-driven flow enhancement through the chimney effect. A one-dimensional semi-analytical thermo-fluidic model is ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study of ionic wind heat transfer enhancement in internal rectangular channels. Ionic wind is a potential technique to enhance natural convection cooling noise-free and ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the possibility to selectively tune the convective heat transfer coefficient in different sections of a heat sink by varying the density of microfeatures in order to minimize ...

Abstract: Superabrasive grind wheels are used for the machining of brittle materials such as tungsten carbide. Stochastic modeling of the wheel topography can allow for statistical bounding of the grind force characteristics allowing ...
