The project objective is to design and fabricate a high performance air-cooled Manifold Minichannel Heat Sink (MMHS) that can transfer the generated heat from the outer skin of electric motor and electronic drives to the ambient air. with the purpose of improving heat rejection from an advanced eletric propulsion system (AEPS) of a narrow-body commercial aircraft.

Topic: Investigation of heat transfer enhancement using nanofluid jet impingement

Supervisor: Dr AKM Monjur Morshed, Professor, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, BUET

• Numerical simulations are performed using the commercially available software Ansys FLUENT.
• Working with several variables as Target surface geometry, surface irregularities, jet configuration, combination with micro-channels and Dimple geometry.
• Compare the effects of different variables with respect to a standard case for evaluating heat transfer and flow characteristics.
