Controller cooling of an electric vehicle: An analytical and CFD study of heat transfer

This paper presents the analytical and CFD studies of heat transfer from the heat sink of the controller of an electric vehicle (EV). Maximum heat generation from the controller during the operation of the EV was calculated and a forced air cooled heat sink with fin was designed to remove this heat....

Heat removal from the finned heat sink was calculated analytically at different air velocity.
