A numerical simulation of heat and fluid flow for predicting the effect of passage arrangement in automotive heat battery has been performed. The system is assumed to be a two-dimensional laminar flow and isothermal boundary is applied to the surface of the latent heat storage vessel. In the case of ideal heat battery the flow rate into each flow passage is evenly distributed. The various models are considered in the view of pressure drop and bulk temperature. The effects on the efficiency of the heat battery are examined by varying geometrical factors such as flow passage clearance, length of a inlet and outlet tank and the length of a latent heat storage vessel. The flow clearance is a very important -factor on the efficiency of a heat battery. As the flow passage clearance becomes narrow, the flow distribution becomes uniform and the bulk temperature increases, however the pressure drop is large. Therefore, optimal flow passage clearance has to be chosen. The present work can be used in optimizing heat battery efficiency.

Heat generation and temperature of a battery is usually presented by an equation of current. This means that we need to adopt time domain calculation to obtain thermal characteristics of the battery. To avoid the complicated calculations using time domain, 'state of charge (SOC)' can be used as an independent variable. A SOC based calculation method is elucidated through the comparison between the calculated results and experimental results together. Experiments are carried for rapid resistive discharge of a large-capacitive lithium secondary battery to evaluate variations of cell potential, current and temperature. Calculations are performed based on open-circuit cell potential (SOC,T), internal resistance (SOC,T) and entropy (SOC) with specific heat capacity.

To effectively control heat generation resulting from advancements in fast discharging technology for electric vehicle batteries, hybrid Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS) are gaining attention. In this study, a BTMS combining Phase Change Material (PCM) with Oscillating Heat Pipe (OHP) was designed. During the phase change process of the PCM, the maximum battery temperature increased slowly. Additionally, due to the excellent heat transfer capability of the OHP, the PCM/OHP BTMS delayed the time when the maximum battery temperature exceeded 50 ℃ by 810 s compared to the PCM/copper fin BTMS, resulting in the maximum battery temperature that was 41.29 ℃ lower at 3600 s. Furthermore, in the section where the latent heat of the PCM had the greatest impact, the slope of the battery temperature difference was 0.0017 lower than that of the PCM/copper fin BTMS. Therefore, the PCM/OHP BTMS demonstrates its potential as a viable hybrid BTMS.

고용량 Nickel/Metal hybride 전지의 온도 거동을 3차원 유한요소법 software인 NISA를 사용하여 해석하였다. 전지 내부의 열전도에는 미분형 에너지 수지식을, 외부 대기와의 접촉면은 대류 열전달 방식을 사용하였다. 전지 온도에 영향을 미치는 요소인 열발생량과 대류 열전달계수에 대한 실험을 행하였고, 이 결과로부터 일반식을 도출하였다. 금속 재질의 cooling fin을 사용하므로써 급속한 충전이나 방전시 야기될 수 있는 온도 상승을 상당 부분 방지할 수 있었다. 전지 외벽에 열전도도가 낮고 얇은 절연물질을 부착하여도 최고온도의 상승에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다.

전기 자동차의 연료 소모량은 배터리 성능에 의존한다. 배터리의 성능은 작동온도에 민감하기 때문에, 배터리 온도 관리는 성능과 내구성을 보장한다. 특히, 배터리 팩에서의 모듈의 온도 분포는 냉각특성에 영향을 미친다. 이 연구는 모듈 사이의 온도 분포를 확인 할 수 있는 배터리 열적 모델링에 초점을 두었다. 본 연구의 배터리 모델은 NiMH 각형 모델이며, 10개의 모듈로 구성되어졌다. 배터리 열 모델은 열 발생, 채널을 통과하는 대류 열 전달 그리고 모듈 사이의 전도 열 전달로 구성되었다. 배터리 내에서 발생되는 열발생 모델은 충/방전 동안의 전기적인 저항열에 의해 계산되어 진다. 모델은 전 하이브리드 자동차의 운전 동안 적절한 열관리의 전략을 결정한다.

In many electric vehicles, large-capacity pouch-type lithium-ion battery packs are mainly used to increase the mileage on a single charge. The lithium ion battery should be operated within the temperature range of 25℃ to 40℃ because the battery performance can be rapidly deteriorated due to an increase in internal temperature. Battery thermal management system (BTMS) can give the suitable temperature conditions to battery by water cooling method. In this research, the heat transfer characteristics (the battery temperature distributions and the water flow characteristics) were analyzed by CFD method to investigate the thermal performance of the cooling plate with 4-pass water flow structure. Moreover, the effect of the presence of fins between the battery cell was identified. The fins made smooth temperature distributions between the battery cells due to the heat spreading and lower the average battery cells temperature.

The improvement in the battery performance and life using a battery thermal management system directly affects the improvement in the performance, life, and energy efficiency of electric vehicles. Therefore, this study numerically analyzed the heat exchange processes between the coolant inside the cooling plate channel and the heat generated by the battery. The cooling performance was analyzed based on the average temperature, temperature uniformity, and the maximum and minimum temperature differences of the battery. A performance difference existed depending on the coolant inlet temperature but showed the same tendency of cooling performance according to the shape of each plate's channel. Type 1 showed the best results in terms of battery temperature uniformity, which is the most important measure of battery performance; Type 2 showed the best results in terms of the average temperature of the battery; and Type 3 showed the best results in terms of the maximum and minimum temperature differences of the battery compared with that of the other cooling plates.

The Li-ion battery is considered to be one of the potential power sources for electric vehicles. In fact, the efficiency, reliability, and cycle life of Li-ion batteries are highly influenced by their thermal conditions. Therefore, a novel thermal management system is highly required to simultaneously achieve high performance and long life of the battery pack. Basically, thermal modeling is a key issue for the novel thermal management of Li-ion battery systems. In this paper, as a basic study for battery thermal modeling, temperature distributions inside the simple Li-ion battery pack (comprises of nine 18650 Li-ion batteries) under a 1C discharging condition were investigated using measurement and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation approaches. The heat flux boundary conditions of battery cells for the CFD thermal analysis of battery pack were provided by the measurement of single battery cell temperature. The temperature distribution inside the battery pack were compared at six monitoring locations. Results show that the accurate estimation of heat flux at the surface of single cylindrical battery is paramount to the prediction of temperature distributions inside the Li-ion battery under various discharging conditions (C-rates). It is considered that the research approach for the estimation of temperature distribution used in this study can be used as a basic tool to understand the thermal behavior of Li-ion battery pack for the construction of effective battery thermal management systems.

전기자동차에 사용되는 리튬이온 배터리의 성능은 배터리 온도에 따라 큰 차이를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 유한차분법을 이용하여 배터리의 발열량에 따른 배터리의 온도변화를 평가하고, 배터리의 충전량, 내부저항 및 전압변화를 조사하였다. 이 배터리 모델을 1차원 해석 프로그램인 AMESim과 연동하여 전기자동차가 NEDC 모드로 주행 시, 배터리의 온도 변화에 따른 전기자동차의 주행거리를 산출하였다. 배터리는 온도가 $25^{\circ}C$ 이하로 감소하면 내부저항이 증가하기 때문에 발열량이 증가하여 주행거리는 줄었다. 또한, 배터리의 온도가 $25^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되면, 배터리의 충전량이 감소하여 배터리의 성능이 떨어지고 그 결과로 주행거리가 줄었다. 배터리의 성능을 최적으로 유지할 수 있는 온도인 $25^{\circ}C$를 기준으로 배터리의 온도가 $-20^{\circ}C$와 $45^{\circ}C$일 때, 전기자동차의 주행거리는 각각 33%와 1.8% 감소하였다. 배터리의 최적 온도를 유지하기 위해 효율적인 배터리 열관리를 통하여 저온에서는 가열, 고온에서는 냉각이 이루어져야 한다. 해석 결과 외기온이 $-20^{\circ}C$인 경우 500 W의 열을 공급해주어야 하며, 외기온이 $45^{\circ}C$ 경우에는 냉방을 통해 250 W의 열을 방출해줌으로써 배터리 구동의 최적 온도인 $25^{\circ}C$를 유지할 수 있다.

$SnO_2$ was electrodeposited on nodule-type Cu foil at varing current density and electrodeposition time. Unlike the previous research results, when the anodic current is applied, the $SnO_2$ layer was not electrodeposited and the substrate is corroded. When the cathodic current was applied, the $SnO_2$ layer could be successfully deposited. At this time, the surface microstructure of the powdery type was observed, which showed similar crystallinity to amorphous and had a very large surface area. Crystallinity increased after low-temperature heat treatment at $250^{\circ}C$ or lower. As a result of evaluating the charge/discharge performances as an anode material for lithium ion battery, it was confirmed that the capacity of the heat treated $SnO_2$ was increased more than 2 times, but it still showed a limit point showing initial low coulombic efficiency and low cyclability. However, it was confirmed that the battery performances may be enhanced through optimizing the electrodeposition process and introducing post heat treatment.
