“…The essence of both is to transfer the heat absorbed by the PCM to the fins, thereby transferring the heat of the fins to the atmosphere environment to achieve the purpose of cooling. According to previous researches, the influence of fins on the heat dissipation performance of PCM-based BTMS was mainly determined by the material [ 92 ], number [ 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 ], length, structure [ 89 , 97 , 98 ] and other parameters. The structures of commonly used fins are shown in Figure 13 .…”

The purpose of a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is to maintain the battery safety and efficient use as well as ensure the battery temperature is within the safe operating range. The traditional air-cooling-based BTMS not only needs extra power, but it could also not meet the demand of new lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs with high energy density, while liquid cooling BTMS requires complex devices to ensure the effect. Therefore, phase change materials (PCMs)-based BTMS is becoming the trend. By using PCMs to absorb heat, the temperature of a battery pack could be kept within the normal operating range for a long time without using any external power. PCMs could greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of BTMS by combining with fillers such as expanded graphite (EG) and metal foam for their high thermal conductivity or coordinating with fins. In addition, PCMs could also be applied in construction materials, solar thermal recovery, textiles and other fields. Herein, a comprehensive review of the PCMs applied in thermal storage devices, especially in BTMS, is provided. In this work, the literature concerning current issues have been reviewed and summarized, while the key challenges of PCM application have been pointed out. This review may bring new insights to the PCM application.

“…Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the scheme, reduce the workload, and enable the test process to make the effective analysis results obtained with a limited number of experiments. Therefore, the OE is simplified according to the orthogonal test analysis scheme of L 9 (3 4 ) [17]. The simplified test scheme uses single factor air speed of 2/6/8, and the number of fins is 3/5/6.…”

To cope with the problem of global warming and improve the performance of electric vehicles, the power source of electric vehicles is researched. First, the CFD simulation analysis method is utilized to analyze the heat dissipation effect under the changes of the air intake speed, the number of fins, and the thickness of the fins between lithium batteries. Then, the orthogonal experiment is utilized to select the optimal solution between the lithium batteries. The simulation results show that the heat dissipation effect is optimal under the conditions that the inlet air speed is 8 m/s, the number of fins is seven, and the thickness of fins is 2.5 mm. Then, the orthogonal experiment determines the optimal heat dissipation scheme of the lithium battery pack the air inlet speed is 8 m/s, the number of fins is six, and the thickness of the fins is 2 mm. This optimal scheme can effectively improve the heat dissipation performance of lithium batteries, enhance the performance of electric vehicles, and reduce CO 2 emissions.

“…The melting of a solid-liquid phase change material (PCM) in a rectangular enclosure equipped with discrete protruding heat sources, flush-mounted on one of its vertical walls, has been the subject of several analytical, experimental and numerical investigations [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Chu et al [1] were the first to investigate the effect of heater size, location, aspect ratio and boundary conditions for a laminar flow and arrive at a relationship between the Rayleigh number and the optimum position of the heat source that maximizes heat transfer.…”
