Numerical Investigation of a Composite-Based Cooling System Using Finite Element Analysis

This study presents a numerical investigation of a cooling system designed using composite materials, with an emphasis on thermal and structural performance analysis through Finite Element Method (FEM). The model was developed using ANSYS Workbench, where steady-state thermal and structural simulations were conducted to evaluate temperature distribution, thermal deformation, and stress generation under different operating conditions. The results were compared with those of a traditional metallic cooling system to highlight the advantages of using composite materials in terms of thermal resistance and weight reduction. The findings indicate that composite materials can significantly improve system performance while maintaining mechanical integrity, suggesting their potential use in lightweight and high-efficiency applications such as electronics and automotive systems.
