In the present paper, an axisymmetric two-dimensional model for powder mixed electric discharge machining (PMEDM) has been developed using the finite element method (FEM). The model utilizes the several important aspects such as temperaturesensitive material properties, shape and size of heat source (Gaussian heat distribution), percentage distribution of heat among tool, workpiece and dielectr...

The topic of this doctoral thesis is energy efficient electronic cooling using hot water as coolant. The aim of the work is to provide a viable solution to reduce the energy spent for cooling supercomputers and allow energy reuse for secondary applications. A transition from air cooling to single phase liquid (water) cooling is proposed to master the challenge of ever increasing heat dissipatio...

Small Modular Reactor / and Medium (SMRs) adalah sebuah inovasi baru dari sistem penggunaan energi nuklir yang dipergunakan untuk pembangkit listrik. SMRs sendiri sudah banyak negara berniat membuat reaktor dikarenakan harganya murah, membutuhkan tempat tidak luas, memiliki safety passive, dan risiko kecelakaan lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan konvensional. dapat menghasilkan sampai 300 MWe. Nam...

Nowadays, microchannels as closed circuits channels for fluid flow and heat removal are an integral part of the silicon-based electronic microsystems. Most of previous numerical studies on microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) have been performed for a two-dimensional domain using constant properties of the working fluid. In this study, laminar fluid flow and heat transfer of variable properties Al2O3...

The use of titanium and its alloys has increased in various industries recently, because of their superior properties of these alloys. Titanium alloys are generally classified as difficult to machine materials because of their thermo-mechanical properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and low thermal conductivity. Laser Assisted Machining (LAM) improves the machinability of high strengt...
