Research on one-dimensional phase change heat transfer characteristics based on instrument compartment structure

To address the issue of electronic equipment failure inside the instrument compartment due to aerodynamic heating during high-speed flight. Combining the heat transfer characteristics of phase change materials, a new instrument compartment structure was proposed as the research subject based on phase change materials. While studying the heat transfer characteristics of this structure, one-dimensional phase change heat transfer theoretical model was constructed based on the Lightfoot integral equation method, and the corresponding analytical solution was obtained. To explore the temperature change law of the instrument compartment structure and verify the rationality of the theoretical model, the new thermal experiment was carried out for the instrument compartment structure. Compared with the aluminum alloy instrument compartment structure, the experimental results show that the instrument compartment structure design based on phase change materials could effectively reduce the temperature of the structure itself, and the experimental data are in good agreement with the theoretical calculation results, which verified the rationality of the theoretical model and provided a scientific basis for the practical application of phase change materials in instrument compartment structures.
