The objective of this thesis is to design and dimension a phase-change-material-to-coolant heat exchanger for thermal regulation of automotive printed circuit boards operating under transient loads. The work will involve analytical modelling, CFD simulations, transient heat transfer analysis, material selection, and integration studies within vehicle cooling loops. The aim is to enhance thermal stability while minimizing weight and packaging volume.
The thesis will be conducted in cooperation with a car manufacturer, ensuring industrial applicability.
