As the title indicates, since the middle of the last decade, there have been very pessimistic projections regarding the growth of the total annual energy used by data centers in the U.S. One of them suggested that by 2030, the energy consumption in the U.S. in the IT sector would be roughly 60% of that used by its entire industrial sector. [1,2,3] What was the origin of this … [Read more...]
Strategies for Using Thermal Calculation Methods
Thermal analysis tools available to engineers and scientists offer a wide variety of methods to solve problems. A cursory review of the past decade’s issues of Electronics Cooling magazine can show methods ranging from analytical techniques (such as hand calculations) to spreadsheets to full numerical/computational solutions such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA … [Read more...]
