What is aircraft thermal management?

In performing the review, the definition employed for ‘aircraft thermal management’ was the following: Aircraft thermal management is the means by which an on-board thermal environment is established that (i) ensures safe and efficient operation of the aircraft and its on-board systems and (ii) meets the thermal requirements of the payload.

How complex are thermal transport systems on aircraft?

Thermal transport systems on aircraft are already quite complex. This can be appreciated when looking at Fig. 14, which shows a diagram that combines the thermal management system architectures of several civil transport aircraft into one.

What are the challenges and opportunities in aircraft thermal management?

Challenges and opportunities in topics of priority in aircraft thermal management. Waste heat produced by electric components in the propulsion transmission is not exhausted away from aircraft, as in gas turbines. These heat loads may be of the megawatt order and have high magnitudes of heat flux.

How sensitivity analysis is used in aircraft thermal management and power systems?

Sensitivity analysis for the design of aircraft thermal management and power systems. The method is based on the Sobol’ variance-based approach for sensitivity analysis. It was shown that the use of the Sobol’ method was suitable for the example problems.

Is thermal management affecting the design of aircraft in the subsonic domain?

This problem of thermal management used to be confined to aircraft undergoing excessive aerodynamic heating while travelling at high Mach numbers, but, because of a general increase in the magnitude and number of internal heat loads, it is progressively also affecting the design of aircraft in the subsonic domain.

Can military aircraft thermal management systems be exploited for EPA?

Recent developments in military aircraft thermal management systems could be explored to determine if they could be exploited for EPA. The waste heat produced in UHBR GTFs is projected to be significant (up to 275 kW per engine for an Airbus A320-sized UHBR GTF aircraft ).
