This work addresses the multi-fidelity analysis-driven design of a thermal transport system based on the flow of liquid metal through a structural laminate as induced by a solid-state magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) pump. A full three-dimensional model of the thermal transport system is both simplified to a reduced-order algebraic model, which correctly captures trends in the global system response, and alternatively implemented in an finite element framework, which captures essential global and local aspects of the system response not attainable via reduced-order modeling. The predictions of each model are validated against previously published experimental data. It is shown in detail for the first time in the context of MHD systems that a multi-fidelity approach to the multi-objective design optimization problem can leverage both the speed of the algebraic model and the accuracy of the finite element model, leading to effective predictions of optimal system designs in a reasonable amount of time. A relatively new algorithm for multi-objective and parameterized Pareto optimization is employed, and a clear path of continued development is identified.

AbstractSETI from space is currently envisaged in three ways: i) by large space antennas orbiting the Earth that could be used for both VLBI and SETI (VSOP and RadioAstron missions), ii) by a radiotelescope inside the Saha far side Moon crater and an Earth-link antenna on the Mare Smythii near side plain. Such SETIMOON mission would require no astronaut work since a Tether, deployed in Moon orbit until the two antennas landed softly, would also be the cable connecting them. Alternatively, a data relay satellite orbiting the Earth-Moon Lagrangian pointL2would avoid the Earthlink antenna, iii) by a large space antenna put at the foci of the Sun gravitational lens: 1) for electromagnetic waves, the minimal focal distance is 550 Astronomical Units (AU) or 14 times beyond Pluto. One could use the huge radio magnifications of sources aligned to the Sun and spacecraft; 2) for gravitational waves and neutrinos, the focus lies between 22.45 and 29.59 AU (Uranus and Neptune orbits), with a flight time of less than 30 years. Two new space missions, of SETI interest if ET’s use neutrinos for communications, are proposed.

Microwaves (MW) are electromagnetic waves which are commonly generated at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. When dipolar molecules such as water, the polar side chains of proteins and other molecules with an uneven distribution of electrical charge are exposed to such non-ionizing radiation, they oscillate through 180° at a rate of 2,450 million cycles/s. This rapid kinetic movement results in accelerated chemical reactions and produces instantaneous heat. MWs have recently been applied to a wide range of procedures for light microscopy. MWs generated by domestic ovens have been used as a primary method of tissue fixation, it has been applied to the various stages of tissue processing as well as to a wide variety of staining procedures. This use of MWs has not only resulted in drastic reductions in the time required for tissue fixation, processing and staining, but have also produced better cytologic images in cryostat sections, and more importantly, have resulted in better preservation of cellular antigens.
