Download or read book Computational Methodology for Electro-thermal Ice Protection System Analysis written by Karan Vishwanath Bikkannavar and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new trend in aviation industry is towards „all electric aircraft‟. Thus, there‟s a strong desire to replace bleed air systems with efficient electrical ice protection systems that would provide adequate ice protection. In the current thesis study, a computational methodology was developed to support the design and assess the performance of electro-thermal ice protection systems (ETIPS) for de-icing fixed wing aircraft. The methodology developed was tested using a range of geometries and electrical heater configurations and was validated with experimental data obtained by researchers at Wichita State University (WSU) and other organizations.
