Modeling and validation of key components of thermal management systems

In this paper, two key components of thermal management system are modeled by the underlying logic operation of SIMULINK. Simulink-PS signal conversion module is used to connect the electric grid and the calculation part of the heat grid to build the fuel tank heat grid model. The temperature transient simulation model of phase-change heat exchanger was established by using the integral module in Simulink library. Experimental verification and literature data verification are provided for these two components. The results show that the error between simulation results and experimental data is between 0.1% and 3%, which proves the accuracy and feasibility of the system modeling in this paper. It lays a foundation for the simulation of the overall thermal management scheme.
