Thermal Properties of Automotive Light Sources

The goal of this thesis was to process theoretical basis required for better understanding the matters of thermal simulations, to perform particular simulation and its debugging according to the measurement on actual sample. Theoretical part focuses on the variety of the automotive light sources, then kinds of heat transfer, thermal simulations and possibilities of measurement and results verifying. Practical approach was consisted of reverse engineering of particular light source and building its 3D model. In consequence, the characterization of the material properties was made. At the end the thermal simulation of designed 3D model was performed and the optimalization according to realized measurement was implemented
