Thermal Management of a Data Center White Space: A numerical study using computational fluid dynamics, flow & temperature predictions using neural networks, and white space design optimization using a genetic algorithm.

The total electrical energy consumption by all the operational data centers (located all over the world) is enormous (approx. 1% of the global electricity demand 20000TWh). This electrical energy is required 24x7 to operate and cool all the IT equipment present in the data center. The electrical energy required to cool all...
