Thermal management of lithium-ion batteries using carbon-based nanofluid flowing through different flow channel configurations

Research progress in liquid cooling technologies to enhance the thermal management of LIBs

“…8(c) shows the highest temperature at the end of the 2.5C discharge for the battery module. In their research, Mitra et al 128 prepared nanofluids using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with three different volume fractions (Vf) (0.15%, 0.3% and 0.45%) in a mixture of ethylene glycol and water and compared the cooling performance of the nanofluids with that of water and ethylene glycol-water mixtures. The assembly of serpentine channels is described in Fig.…”

A Review on Composite Phase Change Materials and Fins-Based Li-Ion Battery Thermal Management Systems with Design Perspectives and Future Outlooks

“…152 Table 11 presents the summary of recent works for battery cooling purposes by using nanofluid. Mitra et al 153 developed a nanofluid by adding MWCNTs to ethylene glycol and water at three distinct fractions of volume (0.15%, 0.3%, and 0.45%). They then compared the cooling properties of the nanofluid to that of water and the ethylene glycol−water mixture.…”
