Thermal Simulation for LED System

We are developing a high-efficiency LED system for vertical farming using advanced material technology. We need a top-tier Material, Mechanical, or Thermal Engineer with a strong academic background to perform a comprehensive thermal simulation. **Technical Parameters & Optimization Goals for the Simulation:** **Target Crops & Power Scenarios (per 1-meter LED bar):** - **Scenario A (Lettuce):** Low-to-medium intensity. 40W electrical power → approx. 25W thermal load (heat). - **Scenario B (Strawberry):** High intensity fruiting. 100W electrical power → approx. 65W thermal load (heat). **Core Optimization Metrics:** 1. **Cooling & HVAC Efficiency:** Calculate temperature reduction on the junction and substrate, showing ambient heat reduction and its impact on lowering air conditioning electricity bills in closed vertical farming facilities. 2. **Space & Weight Saving:** Compare standard aluminum heat sinks to graphene-coated systems (~20-50 microns thickness, ~1000 W/m·K conductivity) to evaluate reduced size and weight while maintaining or improving thermal performance. **Required Simulation Outputs:** - Comparative 3D thermal heat maps (Aluminum vs. Graphene). - Junction temperature data for both 25W and 65W loads. - Final summary report highlighting space savings percentage and estimated cooling energy reduction. This is a fixed-budget project with long-term collaboration potential if successful.
