A hybrid cooling method for 18650 lithium-ion batteries has been investigated using both experimental and numerical approaches electric vehicle applications. The setup includes a heater section, phase change material (PCM) reservoir, section. section simulates battery heat generation with two cylindrical aluminum housings, each sized to match an battery, cartridge heaters, sink. An airflow channel is incorporated into the Heat transfers sequentially from heaters sink, through three...
A two-dimensional numerical model is developed to simulate the transient response of a heat pipe-assisted latent thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit integrated with dish-Stirling solar power generation systems. The consists container which houses phase change material (PCM) and two sets interlaced input output pipes (HPs) embedded in PCM. LHTES exposed time-varying concentrated irradiance. three-stage operating scenario investigated that includes: (i) charging only, (ii) simultaneous...
A computational model is developed to simulate the hydrodynamic and heat transfer behavior of a melting cylindrical solid particle in plane Poiseuille flow between horizontal parallel plates. The two-dimensional transient conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy are solved using finite-volume scheme implemented on deforming mesh, accounting rotation non-uniform particle. An arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) method employed directly track moving solid–liquid interface during...
