Part of the continued investigate accomplishments with the Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Engineering Department, a whole new scientific investigate for its Head, Assist Prof. Dr. Azher M. Abid is released during the Journal of Energy Sources. It really is amazing to notice this journal is classed in the initially quarter of Q1 SCOPUS & Clarivate, having an Impact Factor 9.794.
The research is entitled
"A few-dimensional numerical analyze of the effect of the air-cooled procedure on thermal administration of a cylindrical lithium-ion battery pack with two distinct arrangements of battery cells"
Within this study, a simulation of three-dimensional battery pack (B-PK) has been executed, made up of 16 battery cells (BCL) with aligned and non-aligned arrangements. This B-PK has long been put in the square air duct exactly where air enters from the major with the B-PK and exits from the bottom of the batteries.
This experiment has mainly centered on modifying the air velocity (V-AR) that enters the B-PK from 0.03 to 0.09 m/s for 3 cost/discharge cycles inside 2000 seconds.
The results attained have confirmed that extending the charging/discharging duration of B-PK right until the third cycle leads to a rise in the temperature of B-PK. Actually, the outcome of fixing air velocity has been most visible in the second and 3rd cycles of the battery charging course of action. It has also been recognized that the maximum (T-MX) and normal (T-AV) temperatures from the B-PK as well as the temperature on the air leaving the battery pack are reduced if the V-AR is increased.
Even so, the study has uncovered in addition that the central batteries on the B-PK have a higher temperature, whereas the batteries from the corners Have got a reduced temperature, According to BCLs Assessment. Appropriately, it can be concluded that utilization of an aligned arrangement of batteries in the bundle shall decrease the T-AV from the B-PK compared to an unaligned arrangement of batteries.
