... reduced order thermal modeling data center experimental measurement Data centers house many electronic racks containing high power dissipation data processing and storage equipment. The air temperature at rack inlets must be maintained within maximum allowable limits (typically 27 °C per ASHRAE...

.... In this paper, a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based reduced order thermal modeling approach is presented for complex convective systems. The basic POD technique is used with energy balance equations, and heat flux and/or surface temperature matching to generate a computationally efficient thermal model...
