Aerodynamic shape optimization of an electric aircraft motor surface heat exchanger with conjugate heat transfer constraint
Article
Full-text available
  • Jun 2022
Electrified aircraft benefit from the versatile ways electric motors can be integrated with an airframe. However, thermal management is needed to move waste heat out of the motors because the heat is not expelled with the exhaust as in a conventional engine. Plate-fin, fin, and surface heat exchangers are incorporated as air-side heat exchangers fo...
