When a component
is subject to extreme temperatures or a high thermal flux its is often
necessary to perform a thermal analysis to determine the temperature
distribution throughout the component. This will check
that operational temperature limits of constituent parts are not
exceeded or to determine the need for safety guards to protect
personnel from extreme heat (or cold). 
Three
variants of a water cooled electrical motor stator were
modelled, each variant had a slightly different method of cooling. Heat inputs and
convection surfaces were applied to the model and the steady
state temperature distribution was determined.
This gave the information the designers required to choose the most
efficient cooling system.
