Optimization of the Cooling System of Electric Vehicle Batteries

Abstract

The most important components of electrical vehicles are the battery and the related cooling system. These subsystems play a major role in determining the overall electric vehicle performances. In this study, a novel cooling system with fluid in the battery cell is proposed, by which the energy storage system can be optimized through control of the temperature of the batteries. A sensitivity analysis is conducted considering the maximum temperature, the heat rate, the coolant temperature, and the geometry of the cavities. The numerical simulations show that the parameters for the trapezoidal compartment have an impact on the thermal performance of battery. An optimal geometry is proposed accordingly. It is concluded that for high values of Reynolds number for which the flow becomes turbulent, a decrease in the battery temperature can be obtained thereby avoiding thermal stresses.

Business Prospect of Recycling Household Wastage: A Study on Gopalganj District of Bangladesh

“…80% of this household wastage is fully organic and 70% of this household wastage is not managed at all. This vast amount of household wastage not only directly comes to the environment and causes several environmental pollutions but also creates a big health risk for surrounding dwellers of the dumping site (Pasupuleti et al, 2019;Iswanto et al, 2022). This situation is not a single picture of a country, actually it is a common picture of the largest under-developed country in the world.…”
