Abstract

The power consumed by Central Processing Unit (CPU) generates the heat which is undesirable and which is further responsible for the damage of Information Technology equipment. Oil Immersion cooling is one of the emerging technology which deals with the high server densities by submersing the servers in mineral oil. The study addresses the CFD analysis of Raspberry Pi computer servers with different cooling techniques and different modes of operating conditions. The thesis gives the explanation on the difference between air cooling and oil cooling with and without use of heat sinks. The study also shows the parametric analysis of heat sink for the particular case of oil immersion cooling of Raspberry Pi computers. Considering the worst case scenario, the results give an idea about the optimized performance of Raspberry Pi Server for the application of Oil Immersion Cooling. By efficient cooling techniques Raspberry pi can be used from personal computing to high end power requirements.
