For heat transfer enhancement, silver nano-water is used as
a coolant instead of water. The concentration of silver
nanoparticles is about 1.3 wt%. Figure 13 gives heat removal
quantity as a function of the coolant temperature for both water
and silver nano-water when the flow rate is 1.1L/min. Heat
removal quantity is estimated from temperature difference

In addition, we have been working on the verification tests attached to CPU
using server racks that has 36 columns with Pentium 4
2.66GHz 66W CPU for each server, and blade sever, which has
Xeon X5670 2.93GHz 95W x 2, Tesla GPU. These server racks
are shown in Fig. 14.
