A Numerical study of Thermal Management of single cylindrical LiFePO4 battery

Abstract

A thermal management system based on liquid coolant is proposed for the single 18650-25R cylinder - shaped Lithium-ion battery to preserve operating temperature of a single battery. Result suggests that highest temperature of battery is 299.8918K, a value lower than 313K because the water coolant inflow rate for the presented model is 0.05kg/s. In addition, the effect of the 2% Ag water-based nanofluid is contrasted with that of the water coolant. It can be concluded that the effect of the nanofluid is very similar to that of a water-based coolant.
