Abstract: Aiming at the overheat problem of a car driving shaft shroud, an optimization on the temperature field in engine compartment is conducted based on sensitivity analysis and central composite design method. Firstly, the CFD simulation of engine compartment is performed to find out the causes. Then, the main influencing factors are found by sensitivity analysis. Next, model for predicting the surface temperature of driving shaft shroud is established using central composite design method and quadratic regression equation, and the optimal combination of main influencing factors are found. Finally simulation and real vehicle test are carried out for verification. The results indicate that the surface temperature of driving shaft shroud reduces to below the limit value, effectively solving its overheat problem
