Thermodynamic optimization of a rack-level water-cooling infrastructure in high load data centers based on the principle of minimum exergy destruction

Exergy model and the least exergy loss principle are introduced to analyze the exergy loss distribution in heat transfer and air/water flow process, for a combined server/cabinet cooling network. Based on the optimized case suggested by the exergy model, a multi-stage water cooling scheme is designe...
