Abstract:
Nowadays, the Data Center industry is playing a leading role in the world economic development and it is growing rapidly and constantly. Beside this, it has become more concerned with energy consumption and the associated environmental effects. Since about half of the total energy consumption in a typical Data Center is devoted to cooling the IT equipment, energy efficiency must be the primary focus in the design and management of the cooling infrastructure. In this Thesis, we consider the problem of optimizing the operation of cooling systems in Data Centers. The main objective is that of ma

Abstract:
In this thesis novel methods for the laser cooling of quantum systems are presented. The use of quantum interference allows for the tailored cancelation of heating processes, so that an approximation to a cooling operator is possible that does not rely on the rotating wave approximation. This makes these schemes considerably faster and more efficient than existing ground state cooling methods, and allow for a significant relaxation of current experimental constraints. Several approaches are investigated in different systems. On the one hand, a special laser configuration, applicable to trapped

Electrical machines for aerospace applications often operate close to the allowable thermal limits due to high power density requirements. The power density of electrical machines is generally dependent on the machine and thermal management design. At flight level, a reduced pressure exists which in turn results in more challenging thermal management. Aerospace electric machine manufacturers are often limited with respect to the implemented cooling mechanisms. That is, natural convection systems are the norm, as fan cooled and fluid cooled machines may suffer from reliability issues. The origi
