h i g h l i g h t sIdentifies rate-limiting material-level thermal conduction process in a Li-ion cell. Shows that interfacial thermal conduction between cathode and separator contributes 88% of total thermal resistance. Experimental data agrees with theoretical model on thermal contact resistance. Chemical bridging of this interface results in 4X reduction in thermal contact resistance. Results may contribute towards thermal safety of Li-ion cells. a b s t r a c tWhile Li-ion cells offer excellent electrochemical performance for several applications including electric vehicles, they also exhibit poor thermal transport characteristics, resulting in reduced performance, overheating and thermal runaway. Inadequate heat removal from Li-ion cells originates from poor thermal conductivity within the cell. This paper identifies the rate-limiting material-level process that dominates overall thermal conduction in a Li-ion cell. Results indicate that thermal characteristics of a Liion cell are largely dominated by heat transfer across the cathode-separator interface rather than heat transfer through the materials themselves. This interfacial thermal resistance contributes around 88% of total thermal resistance in the cell. Measured value of interfacial resistance is close to that obtained from theoretical models that account for weak adhesion and large acoustic mismatch between cathode and separator. Further, to address this problem, an amine-based chemical bridging of the interface is carried out. This is shown to result in in four-times lower interfacial thermal resistance without deterioration in electrochemical performance, thereby increasing effective thermal conductivity by three-fold. This improvement is expected to reduce peak temperature rise during operation by 60%. By identifying and addressing the material-level root cause of poor thermal transport in Li-ion cells, this work may contributes towards improved thermal performance of Li-ion cells.
Interactive Voice Response Kiosk is built using artificial algorithms that analyses user's queries and understand user's message. In our case, we're using the bot for college purposes-to answer the queries of the student based on web system. Students or any visitor or faculty just has to query through the bot which is used for chatting. Students can chat using any format, there is no specific format the user has to follow. The System uses built in artificial intelligence to answer the query. The answers are appropriate to what the user queries. The User can query any college related activities through the system-be it academic, extra-curricular activities, sports, results, certified courses etc. The user does not have to personally go to the college for enquiry. The System analyses the question and then answers to the user. The system answers to the query as if it is answered by the person. With the help of artificial intelligence, the system answers the query asked by the students. The system replies using an effective Graphical user interface. The student & faculty just has to register himself to the system and has to login to the system. After login, they can have access to the various helping pages the bot through which the students can chat by asking queries related to college activities. The project also provides another two tabs called Visitor & Parent. The visitor just has to go the visitor tab and get the visitor slip printed. The visitor has to fill all the details asked & then save it. Unless it's saved, the slip cannot be printed. The functionality of the parent is the same as that of the student. The only difference is that the parent does not login. It just asked the queries. But for that, the parent has to go to the respective tab. If the parent wants to meet someone, then it becomes the visitor. So the parent will have to print the receipt after asking the required question. The student can query about the college related activities online with the help of this web app.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
