Abstract :
The motivation, principles and realization of statistical parametric investigation as a powerful and essential tool for thermal analysis and design is presented. Examples of cases where the standard deterministic analysis provides insufficient information for the thermal design are given. The important contribution of the statistical analysis, and the quantitative data it provides for taking decisions leading to simple and reliable thermal design is demonstrated.
