In this study, the optical sphere and the power analyzer were exploited to measure the optical and power parameters for the high-power LED lamps. The results, derived from the experimental data, were used as the power distribution inputs in the finite element analysis (FEA) for the determination of the temperature distribution for the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) built in the LED lamp. In the finite element analysis, the conjugate heat transfer model was adapted for the calculation of the heat transfer, including thermal conductivity, convection and radiation. Applied on the power chips located on the PCBA, the graphene thermal interface material (TIMs) had been studied for its effects on the temperature distribution. For an accurate simulation about the LED lamp, the model with closed and compact space was built in the analysis. Compared to the experimental data, it showed that the simulation results had a deviation in the range of 3–5% around the main heating source, the light-emitting diodes. It proves the FEA model proposed in this study were well developed for the simulation of the temperature distribution for the high-power LED lamps which have mixed heat transfer mechanisms. The thermal radiation effects by TIMs with graphene were also investigated in this study and proven to be useful for the heat dissipation for the LED lamps.

Abstract Because the structural integrity of brake systems and tires can be related to the temperature, this work proposes a transient heat transfer finite element analysis (FEA) model to study the overheating in drum brake systems used in trucks and urban buses. To understand the mechanics of overheating, some constructive variants have been modeled regarding the assemblage: brake, rims, and tires. The model simultaneously studies the thermal energy generated by brakes and tires and how the heat is transferred and dissipated by conduction, convection, and radiation. The simulated FEA data and the experimental temperature profiles measured with thermocouples have been compared giving good correlation.

Due to the complexity of hot stamping mechanism, including the coupling of material formability, thermal interaction and metallurgical microstructure, it makes the process design more difficult even with the aid of the finite element analysis. In the present study, the experimental platforms were developed to measure and derive the friction and heat transfer coefficients, respectively. The experiments at various elevated temperatures and contact pressures were conducted and the friction coefficients and heat transfer coefficients were obtained. A finite element model was also established with the experimental data and the material properties of the boron steel calculated from the JMatPro software. The finite element simulations for the hot stamping forming of an automotive door beam, including transportation analysis, hot forming analysis and die quenching analysis were then performed to examine the forming properties of the door beam. The validation of the finite element results by the production part confirms the efficiency and accuracy of the developed experimental platforms and the finite element analysis for the process design of hot stamping.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of thick wall parameters of a cavity on combined convection in a channel. In other words, conjugate heat transfer is solved. Design/methodology/approach – Galerkin weighted residual finite element method is used to solve the governing equations of mixed convection. Findings – The streamlines, isotherms, local and average Nusselt numbers are obtained and presented for different parameters. It is found heat transfer is an increasing function of dimensionless thermal conductivity ratio. Originality/value – The literature does not have mixed convection and conjugate heat transfer problem in a channel with thick walled cavity.
