Thermal management system with nanofluids for hybrid electric aircraft battery

Abstract

Electric aircraft should be used more intensively due to the increase in energy consumption and the decrease in reserves of fossil fuels. Batteries are also an important factor in the development of electric aircraft. One of the most important parameters for the effective operation of batteries is the evaluation of heat dissipation. The even distribution or reduction of the heat generated during the operation of lithium-ion batteries extends the life of the batteries and ensures the

Research on spray cooling performance based on battery thermal management

“…[1][2][3] The development of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) is considered to be one of the effective measures to alleviate the increasing pressure of environmental and energy crisis. [4][5][6] With the rapid development of electric vehicles, the demand for high energy density power batteries has also grown rapidly. With the increase in battery energy density and the expansion of applications, the degradation of vehicle performance and safety problems caused by poor battery thermal management have become increasingly prominent.…”

“…Under the dual pressure of energy crisis and environmental problems, countries all over the world have begun to formulate energy development strategies and develop new and renewable energy sources for the purpose of energy conservation and environmental protection 1‐3 . The development of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) is considered to be one of the effective measures to alleviate the increasing pressure of environmental and energy crisis 4‐6 . With the rapid development of electric vehicles, the demand for high energy density power batteries has also grown rapidly.…”

Aircraft thermal management: Practices, technology, system architectures, future challenges, and opportunities

“…Research on fluids for thermal management involve several topics, such as increasing cooling effectiveness via different mechanisms [21], [189], additives for enhancing thermal properties [190] (see also Section 6.2.2 for additives in fuel), specialised nanofluids for thermal management (especially for batteries) [189], [191], [192], and so forth. Important challenges that need to be addressed revolve around managing the safety, complexity, maintainability, reliability, and environmental aspects of using non-traditional and novel thermal management fluids in aviation.…”

“…Much research on EPA thermal management and related applications is devoted to improving heat acquisition means. Many interesting studies exist, for example using nanofluids for heat acquisition for batteries [191], using polyalphaolefins and phase change materials for thermal management of electrical machines [205], and so forth. As with the above points, this is a general research topic in electrical systems and heat transfer, and it is therefore beyond the scope of this paper to cover it in detail.…”

Thermal safety and thermal management of batteries

“…In addition to channel structure optimization, 38 another method involves the optimization of flow parameters 39,40 (flow rate, etc.) and working fluids (the utilization of nanofluids, 41,42 encapsulated phase change particle fluids, 43 nanoemulsion, 44 etc.). Phase change technologies mainly include solid–liquid phase transition (phase change materials), 45 gas–liquid phase transition (heat pipe, 46 boiling cooling 47 ), and so forth.…”
