Abstract: The paper describes calculations method of heat transfer coefficient
for finned induction motor housing and equivalent thermal conductivity for air
zones inside this housing. The method is based on Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD). In addition, the results of thermal calculations to verify calculated
values of coefficient are presented.
