OBJECTIVES:
 To calculate the thermal behavior of a heat sink for UCM fixture with respect to NVSL219CT,
LED Datasheet considering the thermal power and product wattage are 61W and 87W
respectively.

To understand the point where heat is at maximum and minimum condition.
 The above investigation needs to be done through steady state
thermal simulation with Natural convection.
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Scope:
To understand the thermal behavior of a heat sink for 36LED PCB Configuration of UCM light fixture through LED
Operation.
