Thermal Management Systems in Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Aviation

Module Number: 14055

Every summer semester
Credit points: 6

Module examination: Written exam

Learning outcome: After a successful completion of this module, the students aquire the knowledge on the whole thermal management system (TMS) and the subsystems and components involved. They will be able to analyse the system and design a TMS for a specific appication. In general, the students will gain the knowledge and skills on how to handle the heat generated by the components in a hybrid-electric propulsion systems, and make the whole system more efficient.

Content: The following topics will be addressed in this module:

Introduction to TMS and heat transfer mechanisms
General concepts, applications and examples
Thermal management in electric motors and generators
Thermal management in batteries
Thermal management in power electronics
Thermal management in fuel cells
Thermal management in power distribution systems
Heat exchangers
Pumps, fans and heat exchanger intakes
Cooling fluid and storages
TMS design, integration and control
