In this study, effects of using branching fin on melt fraction of encapsulated PCM in a double vented cavity system which are separated by a thin partition is numerically explored during forced convection of ternary nanofluid. The study is carried out for different values of the Reynolds number (Re, between 200 and 1000), opening ratio (OR between 0.5 and 1.5), branching fin length (between 0.01<i>H</i> and 0.15<i>H</i>), and fin position (<span>(s_{f})</span> between 0.15<i>H</i> and 0.3<i>H</i>) by using finite element method. The presence of the branching fin induces vortices near the fin while both thermal performance and melt dynamics are influenced. The increment and decrement amounts of the entire transition time (TR) from Re = 200 to Re = 600 and from Re = 600 to Re = 1000 are 30 % and 17 %, respectively. Improvements in thermal performance at the maximum Re of the left and right cavities are 35.3 % and 58.6 %, respectively. For maximum heat transfer, the optimum OR value is 1, while for minimal TR, it is 1.75. Reduction in the TR up to 30 % and thermal performance improvement up to 39 % can be achieved by varying branching fin length. The average Nu variations with fin placements and the complete transition time are determined to be 20 % and 49 %, respectively. Utilizing branching fins at the lowest Re case decreases TR by 21.9 %, however it is lowered to 41.5 % at Re = 1000 when the reference scenario without branching fin at Re = 200 is taken into account.

Coupling coefficients, all significant for transport of heat, mass, charge and chemical reaction, were used to model profiles of temperature, concentration, and electric potential for each layer of the cell. Electrode surfaces were modeled with excess properties. Extending earlier works, we included lithium diffusion in the electrodes, and explained the cell’s thermal signature due to Peltier and Soret effects. We showed that the model is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics, meaning that the entropy production computed at steady state from entropy fluxes is equal to the integral over the sum of flux–force products. The procedure is beneficial in electrochemical cell modeling as it reveals inconsistencies. The model was solved for typical lithium-ion battery materials. The coupling coefficients for transport of salts and solvents lead to significant concentration polarization. Thermal polarization is then negligible. We show that a zero-valued heat flux is not necessarily synonymous with a zero temperature gradient. Results are important for efforts that aim to avoid local hot spots.
