Increased heat generation in semiconductor devices for demanding applications leads to the investigation of highly efficient cooling solutions. Effective options for thermal management include passing of cooling liquid through the microchannel heat sink and using highly conductive materials. In the author's previous work, experimental and computational analyses were performed on LTCC substrates using embedded silver vias and silver columns forming microchannels. This novel technique of embedding silver vias along with forced convection using a coolant resulted in higher heat transfer rates. The present work investigates the design optimization of this cooling system (microheat exchanger) using systems optimization theory. A new multiobjective optimization problem was formulated for the heat transfer in the LTCC model using the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) method of heat exchangers. The goal is to maximize the total heat transferred and to minimize the coolant pumping power. Structural and thermal design variables are considered to meet the manufacturability and energy requirements. Pressure loss and volume of the silver metal are used as constraints. A hybrid optimization technique using sequential quadratic programming (SQP) and branch and bound method of integer programming has been developed to solve the microheat exchanger problem. The optimal design is presented and sensitivity analysis results are discussed.

To solve the problem of active vibration control for satellite antenna reflector, which is weak damping and closely spaced modes, the optimal actuators/sensors deployment and controller designing need to be considered. Firstly, the optimal criterions of controllability and observability are designed according to the specificity of Gram Matrix eigenvalue in satellite antenna system equations. Secondly, based on the above criterions, piezoelectric materials (as sensors and actuators) and genetic algorithm are utilized to optimize the deployed locations of sensors and actuators. Finally, to suppress the vibration of satellite antenna reflector, a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is designed under the impulse and white noise excitation respectively. The simulate results show the effectively deployed locations of sensors and actuators, and the correctness of designed LQG controller.
