This configuration utilizes a heat pump system coupled with ejectors, resulting in higher heating performance of the condenser and better dehumidification of the evaporator.

Moreover, most data-driven modeling methods with high computational efficiency do not consider the theoretical knowledge of the corresponding field, which will affect the application of research results in real situations. Therefore, to model the physical model of the DT model, this paper embeds physical knowledge into the backpropagation neural network(BPNN) to construct the data-driven model and physical-model combined neural network(DPNN) and further proposes the residual DPNN (ResDPNN) by introducing residual connections. This is a digital model developed by a hybrid physics and data-driven approach. Specifically, this paper embeds the law of energy conservation into the ResDPNN, constructs a high-precision digital model of the average temperature of the coolant using real operating data from a NPP, and conducts several sets of comparative experiments. The results show that the Mean Absolute Error(MAE) of DPNN on the testing set is improved by 28.02% compared to BPNN, and the MAE of ResDPNN on the testing set is improved by 7.66% compared to DPNN.

The increased internal pressure inflates the structure of the battery pack and electrical components, thereby inducing arcing. Variations in the internal pressure during battery thermal runaway requires further study. Batteries experience oxidation–reduction reactions during thermal runaway, resulting in gas eruptions. This paper tries to measure the dynamic behavior of gas generation throughout the thermal runaway by installing a pressure sensor on the side of the battery. The influence of various states of charge on the internal pressure fluctuations and eruption behaviors during battery thermal runaway is investigated. The results indicate that as the state of charge increases, the internal pressure and mass loss notable rises. A higher state-of-charge brings shorter time for the battery to reach maximum temperature. Notably, the time for the maximum pressure usually occurs before the occurrence of the peak temperature. The maximum pressure commences 20.4 − 288.5 s prior to the moment when peak temperature occurs. A positive correlation has been identified between internal pressure and the mass loss rate during the eruption process.

Therefore, a novel airflow channel with synergistic cooling enhancement is proposed for typical rear-inlet air-cooled lithium iron phosphate (LFP) energy storage battery modules to explore the cooling mechanisms.

Both simulations and experiments yield considerable improvements, demonstrating the rationality of optimization. Subsequently, two novel structures are proposed: harmonica pipe and heat exchange fin plate. Simulation studies show that among the three novel structures, the rectification structure can achieve the greatest improvement under any circumstances. The harmonica pipe and heat exchange fin plate structure exhibit their inherent superior heat exchange capabilities only when the rectification structure is present, revealing the enabling synergistic amplification effect of rectification structure on auxiliary structures. In addition, the optimal balance between the heat exchange area of the harmonica pipe and the wind speed is achieved, thereby maximizing the overall cooling effect.
