These systems utilize state-of-the-art high-speed rotors, attaining rotational velocities that surpass 100 000 rpm through the application of carbon fiber-reinforced composites, which augment energy density while minimizing material deformation. Furnished with magnetic bearings, FESS effectively lowers friction and supports elevated rotational speeds, delivering power outputs that can reach up to 10 kW/kg. Recent progress in control algorithms, encompassing neural networks and predictive maintenance frameworks, guarantees meticulous energy management, thereby diminishing energy losses and enhancing reliability. The hybrid integration of FESS with batteries or supercapacitors further refines energy recovery, effectively addressing the constraints associated with standalone systems. Significant applications encompass hybrid vehicles, wherein FESS facilitates fuel savings of up to 35% in urban traffic scenarios, and rail systems, where the recuperation of braking energy leads to a reduction in energy consumption by 30%. Public transit buses outfitted with FESS exhibit fuel savings of 45%, while motorsport applications leverage FESS for immediate energy surges, underscoring their adaptability. Notwithstanding these merits, challenges such as gyroscopic phenomena, standby energy losses, and substantial initial investment costs continue to persist, necessitating advancements in nanotechnology and IoT-enabled monitoring systems to bolster performance. As international initiatives aimed at decarbonizing transportation gain momentum, FESS is strategically positioned to assume a crucial role in sustainable mobility by facilitating efficient energy storage, curtailing emissions, and ensuring enduring reliability.

Using numerical simulations, the research explores the impact of placing fins exclusively below the horizontal axis, an area with minimal convection heat transfer. The study determines the optimal fin height and investigates four alternative fin configurations to identify the most efficient angle for heat storage. The numerical model is validated with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 2.3% and a melting time deviation of 4.7%. Results show that increasing the extended surface length from 10 to 30 mm reduces melting time by 35% due to enhanced heat conduction. Fin incorporation improves LHTS performance, cutting PCM melting time by at least 50%. Longer extended surfaces reduce temperature variation from 15°C to 6°C, ensuring better heat distribution. High-surface-area fin configurations increase thermal conductivity by 45%, reducing melting time by 28%. A fin angle of 45° accelerates melting by 22% compared with a vertical (90°) configuration due to enhanced convection. Optimizing the fin angle at 45° increases velocity magnitudes within the PCM by 35%, promoting uniform melting. Reducing the fin angle from 72° to 15° further decreases melting time from 75 to 45 min. Overall, optimizing fin configurations and integrating thermally enhanced PCMs significantly improve LHTS efficiency.

The research employs a numerical method to analyze different wavy-wall enclosures within a uniform aspect ratio computational domain under varying boundary conditions. The numerical model is validated against experimental results under variable temperature and constant heat flux boundary conditions, demonstrating high accuracy. The comparative analysis of four cases focuses on local temperature distribution and liquid fraction. Case 1 exhibits a rapid temperature increase with a pronounced gradient, suggesting a quicker yet less consistent heat transfer. It is observed that melting fraction times are reduced by 36.63%, 0.59%, and 21.40% for Case 1, 2, and 3, respectively, compared to Case 0. From the comparative analysis, Case 1 exhibits the highest enhancement in melting fraction, achieving a 43.4% improvement under isothermal conditions and a 22.8% enhancement under constant heat flux. In contrast, Case 3 and Case 2 show lower improvements of 21.8% and 13.5% in isothermal conditions and 15.3% and 10.5% under constant heat flux, respectively. The superior performance of Case 1 is attributed to its optimized encapsulation shape, which offers a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio, leading to faster and more uniform heat transfer.

Traditional battery thermal management systems (BTMS), such as air-based cooling and indirect liquid cooling using cold plates, often result in high thermal gradients—both vertically within cells and horizontally across battery packs—especially under high-current discharge rates. To address these issues, this study introduces and evaluates a steady-state convection-based ester-oil immersion cooling (EOIC) technique for LIBs. Numerical simulations based on the Newman, Tiedemann, Gu and Kim model, aligned with multi-scale multi-dimensional principles, were performed on both a single 18650 cylindrical cell and a 4S2P battery pack. Experimental validations were conducted under 2C and 3C discharge rates at 25°C ambient temperature. The EOIC system demonstrated a temperature reduction of up to 13°C in the 18650 cell and 15°C in the 4S2P pack at 3C discharge compared to natural air convection and achieved ≤ 10°C thermal gradient across cells in the battery pack. The simulation results closely matched experimental data, with a maximum deviation of only 2°C, confirming the model's reliability. Moreover, EOIC outperformed conventional mineral oil-based immersion cooling in both cooling effectiveness and temperature uniformity. These findings confirm EOIC as a promising passive BTMS approach, ensuring improved safety, performance, and thermal stability for LIBs in electric vehicle applications.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11765,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
