ABSTRACT = {Electronic data center cooling using hot water is proposed for high system exergetic utility. The proof-of-principle is provided by numerically 
modeling a manifold micro-channel heat sink for cooling microprocessors of a data center. An easily achievable 0.5l/min per chip water flow, with 
60°C inlet water temperature, is found sufficient to address the typical data center thermal loads. A maximum temperature difference of ~8°C was 
found between the solid and liquid, confirming small exergetic destruction due to heat transport across a temperature differential. The high water 
outlet temperature from the heat sink opens the possibility of waste heat recovery applications.},
