With Conjugate Heat Transfer: Power Inverter Overview
The objective of this simulation is to study the air flow inside a power inverter (air-cooled) considering heat transfer. Air enters the inlet at a specified pressure of 101325 Pa and exits with a volumetric flux of 0.001 m3/s. You can see the geometry and conditions for the simulation in the figure below:
1. Inlet
2. Inflow Direction
3. Outflow Direction
4. Outlet
Air Density = 1.1614 kg/m3
Air Viscosity = 1.846e-05 Pa.s
Heat Sources
• Transformer = 3 W
• Chip Thermal = 2 W
• Transistors(1,2,3,4) = 1 W (each)
