Finite-element methodology for thermal analysis of convectively cooled structuresA finite-element method for steady-state thermal analysis of convectively cooled structures is presented. The method is based on representing the coolant passages by finite elements with fluid bulk temperature nodes and fluid/structure interface modes. Four finite elements are described: two basic elements (mass transport and surface convection) and two integrated elements for applications to discrete tube and plate-fin convectively cooled structural configurations. Comparative finite-element and lumped-parameter thermal analyses of several convectively cooled structures demonstrate the practicality of utilizing finite-element methodology for thermal analysis of realistic convectively cooled structures.
