Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 機械工程系 === 104 === Vehicle computer is the industrial computer which is installed in the car and could turns the car into a digital device and provide information to assist the driver. With the camera lens and related detectors, it monitors and provides self-testing for vehicle safety, vehicle-to-vehicle communication and remote information monitoring..... etc. This main objective of this dissertation is aimed at optimizing thermal design of the vehicle computer. Firstly, we will introduce the overview of the industry and application of the vehicle computer, and secondly, discussed the differences between vehicle computer and general computer architecture. The metal chassis of vehicle computer can be a good cooling method for heat source on the mother-board. Therefore in the simulation analysis, we defined the material of top chassis (M), chassis thickness (T), the fin height (H) and front opening ratio (O), and took three Levels by using the Taguchi method orthogonal table L9 for thermal simulation analysis, using Minitab to compare the data to find the best combination of the four parameters. which are the A2 (material is AL6061), B3 (chassis thickness is 5.5mm), C3 (fin height is 7mm), and D3 (opening ratio 30%).Ran the analysis software to verify the temperature of the cooling efficiency verifiable via four control variables which obtained from Taguchi method and the result proved it was the best approach for the optimal system thermal design. In this study, by using Minitab and Flotherm analysis software to find the optimal system thermal design, the result served as reference for researchers to evaluate v and analyze thermal solution, making adjustment according to experiments and the actual situation, we believe researchers can have more accurate direction of design. the test results provide such referential materials for researchers to evaluate and analyze the thermal solution, and making adjustment based on the experiments and the actual situations accordingly. We believe that this study can provide researchers with more accurate idea of design.
