ME156C Mechanical Engineering Design The main objective of this course is to provide ME seniors with an opportunity to approach engineering practice through a design problem, whose solution requires - knowledge-based innovation and integration; - independent thinking and problem-focusing research; - effective use of engineering analysis skills; - team work within time/resource constrains. The main theme of the ME-156C course and design projects is thermo-fluid design in support of the human exploration and development in space and planetary bodies Why space? Why thermal/fluid?
Space operations and applications • - space travels (spacecrafts, including new generation of micro- and nano-spacecrafts); • - human explorations and developments in the Moon, Mars, and other planets (power generation and storage, life support, materials production and storage, etc.). • For space applications, design is of utmost importance because • Low mass, compactness • Efficient energy use and power regeneration • Reliability, minimum maintenance • High-cost technologies developed for aerospace applications have also gradually penetrated commercial markets and benefited consumers.

Smallest brain-to-body mass ratio IBM PowerPC MCM (Multichip Module) North America – Late 20 century 2 inches long
Thermal Management of Electronics Devices Reliability and life expectancy of electronic equipment are related to the component thermal regime, as physical failure mechanisms are dependent on (absolute) temperature (85- 125o C) and temperature gradients (minimum temperature variation and thermal stress).

Chip Power increasing by three orders of magnitude, from 0.1-0.3 W (in 60’s) to 15-30 W (in 90’s), and expected to reach 150 W in 2005 (50 chips x 3 W) Intel Pentium II: 15 W/cm2 Digital Alpha AV6: 20 W/cm2 HP Chip: 80 W/cm2 Intel (Adv.): 100 W/cm2 MOSC Thyristor: 200 W/cm2 Power Electronics: 300 W/cm2 Laser Diode: 500 W/cm2
Electronics Cooling Challenges Increasing processor power (high speed system, multichip module design and packing) Miniaturization (high power density, low weight) Reliability requirement (precise thermal regulation) Customer-driven and application-specific requirements (more plastic, no noise, EMC, low power consumption in laptops, specific conditions in auto, appliance, avionics, military and space applications– vibration, acceleration, microgravity, etc.) Thermal Packaging vs. Electronics Packaging
Electronics Cooling Technologies Heat chain: Source - Extraction - Transfer – Sink For low heat fluxes (< 10 W/cm2) Air cooling (3…5 W/cm2) Heat pipes (5…10 W/cm2) For intermediate heat fluxes (10…20 W/cm2) Water cooling Air jet impingement Heat pipes (special design and operating conditions)

Miniature heat pipes (20…300 W/cm2) - Pulsating heat pipes - Inverted meniscus design Spray cooling, droplet impingement (100…200 W/cm2) - Complete evaporation of micro-droplets on heated surface Heat pipe-assisted spray MEMS-assisted cooling system - microjet cooling (EM or piezoelectric drivers) - micropump-assisted heat pipe Solid-state heat pipes Magnetocaloric materials as the refrigerant Thermoelectric cooling materials
