Thermal Management

IndicativeCatalog: indicative

Design standard

Closed-form or FEM estimates without a specific design code claim. Applies recommended default units when you change standard; unit dropdowns stay fully editable.

Design workflow

Design / Check / Select for Thermal Management

Define targets in the inputs column, compare candidates in Select mode, and apply a sizing result before running a detailed check.

Use the Workflow mode control in the inputs column to switch between Check, Design, and Select.

Workflow scaffold

Active mode: Check

Verify the geometry and loads already entered in the calculator.

Computed design candidates

Convection coefficient sweep using live thermal paths and heat-rejection target.

Option	Size	Margin	Status	Governing	Detail
h = 40 W/m²·K	h = 40 W/m²·K	—	pass	design target	0 W capacity
h = 60 W/m²·K	h = 60 W/m²·K	—	pass	design target	0 W capacity
h = 80 W/m²·K	h = 80 W/m²·K	—	pass	design target	0 W capacity
h = 100 W/m²·K	h = 100 W/m²·K	—	pass	design target	0 W capacity
h = 120 W/m²·K	h = 120 W/m²·K	—	pass	design target	0 W capacity
h = 150 W/m²·K	h = 150 W/m²·K	—	pass	design target	0 W capacity

Recommendation: h = 40 W/m²·K is the first passing candidate with design target governing.

Assumptions

Computed from live calculator inputs via module design registry.

Equations

utilization = demand / capacity (module-specific)

Workflow candidate strategy

Candidate	Basis	Pass criteria	Tradeoff
Research screen	Fast estimate	Flag risks	Lowest detail
Preliminary design	Balanced assumptions	Pass expected	Needs verification
Conservative design	Margin-first	High reserve	Heavier/costlier
