Thermal Modeling and Analysis of an Aircraft Electronics Navigation Unit
White Paper
ABSTRACT
This paper describes the thermal modeling and analysis of a Transformer/ Rectifier Unit (TRU) unit attached to civil aircraft for high altitude navigation.
The objectives of the modeling project were to verify the viability of a conceptual design and to construct a validated numerical model to be used later for future analyses. Comparison between experimental and simulation showed good agreement.
