| Abstract | A trend of growing power demand on both civilian and military aircrafts, owing to increasingly powerful electrical systems such as avionics, in-flight entertainment, and radar, has led to considerable challenges in thermal management. Left disregarded, the significant heat generated by components within would have an adverse impact on system performance and reliability. Although crucial, suitable methods of thermal management are limited by various aerospace considerations, such as weight, size, and reliability. In this respect, ThermoElectric Coolers (TECs) surface as a possible method, given that they are lightweight and compact in size, with a high mean time between failures (MTBF) and ability to change from cooling to heating through a simple voltage polarity reversal. In this project, studies were carried out to determine the feasibility of employing TEC in a specified avionics chassis under an environment of 55 °C still air at 1 atmospheric pressure, with the case temperature $(T_{case})$ of components as the quantifying variable. Numerical simulations of the chassis were carried out in FloTHERM, while validation of the modeling approach and results was done through data collection from an experimental setup. While results showed that introduction of the TEC under the above-mentioned environmental conditions reduced the temperature of the component being cooled by 9.02 °C, a cooled $T_{case}$ of 86.16 °C was still higher than the target $T_{case}$ of 73.9 °C. The use of a TEC alone proved to be an inadequate form of thermal management. The results revealed that the boundary condition at the TEC hot side would have to be augmented through the introduction of flow or heat sinks to bring the component $T_{case}$ down further. In addition, the use of TEC would be more suitable for applications requiring precision temperature control or active cooling. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
