Numerical And Experimental Investigation Of Jet Impingement Cooling For Electric Vehicle Inverters, Corey Jerome Klinkhamer Oct 2020

Numerical And Experimental Investigation Of Jet Impingement Cooling For Electric Vehicle Inverters, Corey Jerome Klinkhamer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With an increasing shift from the use of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICE) to that of electric vehicles (EV), comes a great demand to improve the reliability and efficiency of on-board power electronics of an EV inverter. During typical operating conditions, heat fluxes up to 300 kW/m2 are common leading to SiC and GaN based switching elements to reach temperatures well above 175 ᵒC and causing them to fail. To this end, a thermal management system is required to cool the electronic components. Impinging jet technology is growing in popularity for electronics cooling applications due to its superior mass …


Thermal Management Of E–Motors In Electric Vehicle Application Employing Lptn Model, Muhammad Ali Ayub Towhidi Jul 2020

Thermal Management Of E–Motors In Electric Vehicle Application Employing Lptn Model, Muhammad Ali Ayub Towhidi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The electric motor is at the center focus as an alternative to the internal combustion engine for automotive applications since it does not produce greenhouse gas emissions and can contribute significantly to the reduction of fossil fuel consumption globally. As extensive research works are being done on electric vehicles at present, thermal analysis of traction motor is increasingly becoming the key design factor to produce electric motors with high power and torque capabilities in order to satisfy electric vehicle driving requirements. Motor losses cause active heat generation in the motor components and excessive temperature rise affects the electromagnetic performance of …
