AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a neural network-based control system for managing the power and temperature of 120 computer servers. The goal is to maintain a desired server inlet temperature of 35 degrees Celsius by adjusting power based on temperature readings. However, participants suggest that a neural network may not be suitable for this application. Instead, they recommend using a simple Proportional-Integral (PI) controller, which is easier to implement and tune. Overall, the consensus is that a PI controller is a more effective solution for this temperature control problem.

Hello all
I'm trying to design a Neural network based control system which will do the following
i have 120 computer servers with
a. power
b. temperature of server inlet
c. temperature of server outlet

Now i have readings for all 3 operating from 5kw to 35 kw in steps of 5 kw
My server desired temp is 35 deg celcius.

what i want to do is my control sys should check the temperatures.. and where it finds highest delta.. it should reduce power by unit.

and go on doing this till it reaches minimum heated state.

Any ideas?

Neural networks is not the right way to do that.

A simple PI controller is the best. A Google search can show you how to make a PI controller and how to tune it.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
