The thermal design of plate fin heat sinks can benefit from optimization procedures where all design variables are simultaneously prescribed, ensuring the best thermodynamic and air flow characteristic possible. While a cursory review of the thermal network established between heat sources and sinks in typical plate fin heat sinks would indicate that the film resistance at the fluid-solid boundary dominates, it is shown that the effects of other resistance elements, such as the spreading resistance and the material resistance, although of lesser magnitude, play an important role in the optimiz

The dynamics of perturbations around sinks and sources of traveling waves (TW) is studied in the cubic-quintic Ginzburg–Landau equation from an analytical point of view. Perturbations generically propagate in a direction opposite to the TW. Thus, a sink of TW is a source of perturbations and vice versa. For small values of time we predict there is a lower bound for the group velocity. For large values of time we predict the asymptotic value of the group velocity of the wave packet. Both predictions are in good agreement with direct numerical simulations.

Abstract:
Amaranth is a promising C4-crop. However, for a wider spread of the crop a better understanding of factors that are influencing yield formation is crucial for optimizing the plant phenotype and enhancing yield. The present study wanted to clarify the effects of assimilate sources and sinks on yield formation by artificially altering source or sink size. Field experiments were conducted in Eastern Austria during three years with three genotypes, applying source-sink manipulation treatments at mid flowering (control, 50% of inflorescence removed, 50% or 100% of leaves removed).

Thermoelectric energy harvesting is emerging as a promising alternative energy source to drive wireless sensors in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering systems. Typically, the waste heat from spindle units of machine tools creates obvious potential for thermoelectric generation. The structure of heat sinks on a thermoelectric generator has a great effect on the output voltage of the thermoelectric generator due to the temperature difference between hot and cold sides induced by heat transfer, so several typical structures of heat sinks are studied under different rotation speed of the

Abstract:
A new method of generating turbulence in a stratified fluid is presented. The flow is forced by a symmetric array of sources and sinks placed around the perimeter of a tank containing stratified fluid. The sources and sinks are located in a horizontal plane and the flow from the sources is directed horizontally, so that fluid is withdrawn from and re-injected at its neutral density level with some horizontal momentum. The sources and sinks are arranged so that no net impulse or angular momentum is imparted to the flow. Measurements of the mixing produced by the turbulence are made using a cond

Understanding the basis of sulphur (S) use efficiency in higher S requiring crops such as brassicas can help develop more cost-effective cultivars. Oleriferous brassicas sequester reduced S in the mature seeds mainly as secondary metabolite-glucosinolate (GSL) and seed storage proteins (SSP). Glucosinolates have a wide range of positive aspects in food production, human nutrition and plant defence, and SSPs are a potential source of high quality vegetable proteins for human and livestock consumption.

Microchannel heat sink plays a vital role in removing a considerable amount of heat flux from a small surface area from different electronic devices. In recent times, the rapid development of electronic devices requires the improvement of these heat sinks to a greater extent. In this aspect, the selection of appropriate substrate materials of the heat sinks is of vital importance. In this paper, three boron-based ultra-high temperature ceramic materials (ZrB2, TiB2, and HfB2) are compared as a substrate material for the microchannel heat sink using a numerical approach.

Cyanobacteria must prevent imbalances between absorbed light energy (source) and the metabolic capacity (sink) to utilize it to protect their photosynthetic apparatus against damage. A number of photoprotective mechanisms assist in dissipating excess absorbed energy, including respiratory terminal oxidases and flavodiiron proteins, but inherently reduce photosynthetic efficiency. Recently, it has been hypothesized that some engineered metabolic pathways may improve photosynthetic performance by correcting source/sink imbalances.

Abstract. Grassland is a canopy with a complex structure where sources and sinks of ammonia may coexist at the plant level. Moreover, management practices such as mowing, hay production and grazing, may change the composition of the sward and hence the source-sinks relationship at the canopy level as well as the interaction with the atmosphere. There is therefore a need to better understand the exchanges of ammonia between grasslands and the atmosphere, especially regarding the locations of sources and sinks and their magnitudes.

Abstract:
As in arid lands of the world, many semi-arid landscapes in Australia have plant and animal growth and reproduction, hence survival, severely limited by available water. For example, Acacia anuera (mulga) grove-intergrove landscapes are source-sink systems where water flows from low ridges and stony slopes (inter-groves) into flat areas (groves). Water can be lost from these systems, to lakes and rivers. This occurs if the water retention (filtering and storage) capacity of the sinks is too low (perhaps due to landscape degradation) or if the total area of sink is too small. A flow-filter land

To improve source–sink relationship based carbon-allocation models, the basic proportional model was extended to account for a well-known effect of individual source to sink distances: among different sinks of similar characteristics, the more distant from the source, the lower the allocation coefficient. This was achieved through multiplication of the sink strength value by a coefficient that is proportional to a decreasing, simple function of distance, f; the power form was chosen for both simplicity and theoretical reasons. The resulting model was parameterized and evaluated on the empirica

AbstractIn oil reservoirs, the less-dense oil often lies over a layer of water. When pumping begins, the oil-water interface rises near the well, due to the suction pressures associated with the well. A boundary-integral formulation is used to predict the steady interface shape, when the oil well is approximated by a series of sources and sinks or a line sink, to simulate the actual geometry of the oil well. It is found that there is a critical pumping rate, above which the water enters the oil well. The critical interface shape is a cusp. Efforts to suppress the cone by using source/sink comb

Three types of heat sinks are designed by using the finite element analysis (FEA) method for an 180W high power LED lamp. Then the optimized heat sinks are developed and experiments are performed to demonstrate the simulated results.
