Global Fan Speed Control Considering Non-Ideal Temperature Measurements in Enterprise Servers

David Atienza Alonso, Mohamed Mostafa Sabry Aly, Jungsoo Kim

Time lag and quantization in temperature sensors in enterprise servers lead to stability concerns on existing variable fan speed control schemes. Stability challenges become further aggravated when multiple local controllers are running together with the f ...

Experimental Investigation of Pressure Fluctuations in a High-Energy Centrifugal Pump Stage at Off-Design Conditions

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Dupont

In centrifugal pumps, the interaction between the rotating impeller blades and the stationary diffuser vanes generates specific pressure fluctuation patterns. At off design operation, high incidence and large local pressure gradients can lead to flow separ ...

Twist and Stretch of Helices Explained via the Kirchhoff-Love Rod Model of Elastic Filaments

John Maddocks

In various single-molecule experiments, a chiral polymer, such as DNA, is simultaneously pulled and twisted. We address an elementary but fundamental question raised by various authors: does the molecule overwind or unwind under tension? We show that withi ...

A unified criterion for the centrifugal instabilities of vortices and swirling jets

François Gallaire

Swirling jets and vortices can both be unstable to the centrifugal instability but with a different wavenumber selection: the most unstable perturbations for swirling jets in inviscid fluids have an infinite azimuthal wavenumber, whereas, for vortices, the ...

Heat Transfer and Performance Characteristics of Axial Cooling Fans with Downstream Guide Vanes

Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis

This study examines experimentally the effect of stators on the performance and heat transfer characteristics of small axial cooling fans. A single fan impeller, followed by nine stator blades in the case of a complete stage, was used for all the experimen ...

Experimental study of the pressure fluctuations in a pump turbine at large partial flow conditions

Frequent shifts of output and operating mode require a pump turbine with excellent stability. Current researches show that large partial flow conditions in pump mode experience positive-slope phenomena with a large head drop. The pressure fluctuation at th ...

Hydrodynamics of a Pump-Turbine Operating at Off-Design Conditions in Generating Mode

Vlad Hasmatuchi

Modern pump-turbines are subject to frequent switching between the pumping and generating modes with extended operation under off-design conditions. Depending on the specific speed of the pump-turbine, the discharge-speed as well as torque-speed generating ...

Fluid-Structure Coupling Effects on the Dynamic Response of Pump-Turbine Guide Vanes

Steven Roth

Hydraulic pump-turbines are subject to a high periodic excitation due to the Rotor-Stator Interaction, RSI. Basically, the RSI is caused by the impeller blade passage in the wake of the guide vanes in generating mode, or upstream from the guide vanes in pu ...

Effect of Stators on the Performance and the Thermal Capabilities of Small Axial Cooling Fans

Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis

This investigation examines experimentally the effect of stators on the performance curves and the heat transfer capabilities of small axial cooling fans. The experimental data indicated that the results are highly affected by the flow conditions at the fa ...

Experimental Evidence of Rotating Stall in a Pump-Turbine at Off-Design Conditions in Generating Mode

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Steven Roth

An experimental investigation of the rotating stall in reduced scale model of a low specific speed radial pump-turbine at runaway and turbine brake conditions in generating mode is achieved. Measurements of wall pressure in the stator are performed along w ...
