点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Details of Project Plan including key milestones:* Comprehensive cooling technology review for electric motors* Comparison of different cooling techniques by simulation* Identifying new cooling techniques to increase cooling performance* Design, build and test new cooling circuitsTransport contributes substantially to greenhouse gases. Electrification of vehicles is seen as a key driver to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gases. Electrification of planes is one of the biggest challenges as reliability, cost and efficiency are fundamental in the aerospace sector. This project focusses on the electric motors that propel electric aircrafts. In order to build them small and light they need to be efficiently cooled. Thus, the project will investigate optimised cooling circuits for electric motors.
