An equation based reduced order model applicable to generalized heat equation and thermal simulations of power electronics systems developed in commercial CFD tools, is presented in this work. The model considers the physics of heat transfer between multiple objects in different mediums and presents a set of equations that can be applied to a wide range of heat transfer scenarios including conduction, natural and forced convection problems. A few case studies including heat transfer in a power electronic system are simulated in Ansys Icepak and the temperatures from the simulations are compared with the temperatures predicted by the models. The models are observed to be highly accurate when compared with the simulations. The predictive model described in this work reduces large complex simulations down to a few parameters which tremendously improves the computation speed, uses very low physical disk space and enables fast evaluation of thermal performance of the system for any changes in the input parameters.
