Electrochemical-thermal coupled modeling of a serpentine-shaped liquid cooling channel for lithium-ion battery packs with high discharge rates
The safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs) operating at high C-rates depend on effective and reliable thermal management. The temperature-dependent electrochemical reactions in LIBs lead to uneven heat generation in high-energy-density cells, making it challenging to design and optimize the operating parameters of a battery thermal management system (BTMS). This study develops and optimizes a novel serpentine-shaped liquid cooling channel (SSCC) for a battery pack comprising 5 Ah, 21700 cylindrical LIBs. A numerical investigation is conducted under varying coolant velocities, liquid channel heights, and discharge rates, considering a contact angle of 60° and an ambient temperature of 298 K. Results depict that without cooling, the battery pack reaches a critical temperature of 380 K at a 5C discharge rate, posing safety risks. However, the SSCC-based liquid cooling BTMS effectively reduces the maximum temperature to 334 K. The optimal configuration is achieved with 50 mm channel height and 0.3 m/s coolant velocity, maintaining temperature uniformity within 3 K across the battery pack. Also, increased pumping power and pressure drop influence thermal performance more significantly than coolant velocity. Comparative analyses with bottom cooling plates and combined cooling arrangements highlight the superior performance of the proposed design in fast discharge scenarios. The SSCC achieves better temperature reduction and uniformity while minimizing pressure drop. This study provides valuable insights into developing advanced BTMS for long-range EVs utilizing high-power LIBs, ensuring safety, efficiency, and extended battery lifespan.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
