This study examined pool boiling on thermal sprayed micro-porous aluminum oxide (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) coatings, which improved fluid imbibition and boiling stability compared to copper surfaces. The coated Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> surfaces have higher critical heat fluxes (CHF) and enhanced heat transfer coefficients (HTC) than the plain copper surfaces for both the Novec 649 and Novec 7100 fluids. Novec 649 had up to 130 % higher HTC with a 62 % higher CHF than on a copper surface. Novec 7100 had 150 % higher HTC with a 92 % higher CHF. Boiling stability testing is crucial when developing modified surfaces. These tests showed that the coated surface boiling characteristics were stable with both Novec 649 and Novec 7100 after four days of boiling curve measurements up to CHF with steady boiling for 12 h between each boiling curve test. The CHF superheat was 7 °C higher on the copper surface with Novec 7100 than on the coated surface, indicating a lower HTC, mainly due to oxidation that reduced surface roughness. This study provides a systematic comparison of the performance and aging of thermal sprayed Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> coated surfaces with those of copper surfaces. This aging test is vital for practical application, as it establishes the coating as a promising solution for high-performance, durable direct-immersion cooling of electronics using dielectric fluids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermal Sciences","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 110745"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultrafast charging technology is important to the development of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. However, it also aggravates the risk of thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries due to the evolution of lithium dendrites on anode caused by cell heat production. It is crucial to regulate the evolution of lithium dendrites at the electrode interface by thermal management. In this work, the structural optimization design of battery packs and the growth of lithium dendrites under ultrafast charging are simulated by thermal management model and phase-filed model, respectively. The batteries achieve the highest heat dissipation (lowest temperature difference) when the cell arrangement angle θ<sub>1</sub> is 50° with a charging rate of 4C. Furthermore, the cooling performance at high charging multiplicity is improved by optimizing the inlet of the thermal management model, resulting in a 45.5 % reduction in temperature difference and supressed growth of lithium dendrites. Optimizing the battery pack structure to control heat dissipation and thus inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites can avoid the risk of thermal runaway in ultrafast charging lithium-ion batteries. A bridge between the electrochemical performance of battery pack and evolution of lihtium dendrite microstructures in batteries is built based on this innovative design, providing valuable theoretical insights for optimizing and managmant of electric vehicle power battery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermal Sciences","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 110737"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three models with different initial carbon distributions were established to investigate their effect on final segregation after ESR: uniform distribution, edge-rich distribution, and center-rich distribution. The results show that the initial carbon distribution directly governs final carbon segregation by altering fluid flow within the mushy zone. Specifically, a center-rich carbon distribution enhances fluid flow in the mushy zone during early solidification, promoting greater solute transport into the molten pool. This leads to increased negative segregation at the ingot bottom. As solidification progresses, the accumulated solute further intensifies positive segregation in the center, resulting in the most severe overall carbon segregation. Quantitative analysis shows that an electrode with center-rich carbon distribution yields a carbon segregation index of approximately −0.086 at the center and −0.350 at the ingot edge during early solidification, representing increases of about 66 % and 9 %, respectively, compared to the electrode with edge-rich distribution.

Phase change materials (PCMs) can store and release heat at a relatively constant temperature (large latent heat). Incorporating PCMs into backfills can improve overall thermal energy density and thus benefit thermal energy storage and shallow geothermal energy systems. However, due to the low thermal conductivity of PCMs, the overall heat transfer rate through these backfill mixtures may be reduced. Therefore, other additives are needed to increase heat transfer efficiency, while maintaining the enhanced thermal storage effect on the backfill material. Graphite is a candidate for this purpose given its superior thermal conductivity. In addition, glass fines are used in this work, to explore a novel approach for recycling glass waste. Dry mixtures are prepared with different proportions of encapsulated PCMs (EPCMs), graphite and glass fines, and their heat capacity and thermal conductivity are measured in the laboratory. Furthermore, the internal structure of the mixture is observed via imagining techniques including scanning electron microscope and computed tomography. Grain-scale numerical simulations based on the obtained images reveals the particle-scale heat transfer pattern in the proposed backfill mixture materials. Experimental results show that incorporating EPCMs and graphite can lead to an average of 40 % increase in heat capacity without sacrificing thermal conductivity.
