Characterisation of boundary conditions for an aircraft engine electronic control unit
White Paper
ABSTRACT
This paper presents the thermal analysis performed on an aircraft engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU) installed in the engine environment. Part of the nacelle and ECU are modeled with and without cooling air, as specified by the engine manufacturer.
Different geometric configurations are simulated providing boundary conditions for a detailed thermal analysis of the ECU itself.
