Default help need information, please help!!

hi,

i'm doing som research for a project, and i need information relating the thermodynamics of a liquid cooling system. I looked at the article Cooling Technologies Explained and it helped. BUT i need more detail data/info about flowrate/resitance etc. i need equations, variables stuff like that. if there are any links or places please help me!!

thank you!!

A glimpse into Pandora's box: See the thread "can we agree on the basis of "C" in C/W ?"

For the relationship of head vs flow rate, most things I modelled in my approximator fall into the formulae head = (a * flow * flow ) + ( b * flow ) but beyond that, they're all different.

Go to a libary and get a book out on heat and mass transfer (prefaerably the introductorary version).

I would recommend this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...83155&v=glance
(get a second hand version)

Any textbook for undergrad engineers on fluid mech and heat transfer would be a good place to start but this is an entire area of science that you could barely cover anything in an entire uni course.

Could also try the g7 thread for more info as well.

Default whats the g7 thread?

thanx guys.

what is the g7 thread?

thanks.

i still need more info, preferably something with energy balance equation.

omg i'm so screwed! i gotta have this done by monday!

lol, i'm such a bad student.

strom g7 block thread in the wb forum.

You mean the first law of thermodynamics i presume(energy in = energy out) or extened bernoulli equation

Default equations

hey,

with steady state assumptions

0 = Q - W + m[(h1 - h2) + (v1^2 -v2^2)/2 + g(z1 - z2)

Q, W, m have dot

dm/dt = mass flow in - mass flow out

this is for a thermodynamics course, but it seems like i'm dealing with a lot of heat transfer course material...

i'm looking at the control volume of just the cpu and waterblock with the water running through it. I'm trying to figure the energy (heat) transfer from the cpu to the water as it passes through the block. I need to find a specific watercooling system first i think, then use max flow/min flow and figure out what temp the cpu is running at (idle, max load) and the cpu cooling is via water is working.
so, the water coming in (flow rate/temp) then water flowing out (flowrate,temp) then cpu heat transfer(qin)

yeaa someting like that..

lol..

sigh

:shrug:

can't do a system heat balance w/o the air info
you are at a dead end here
