On using splitter plates and flow guide-vanes for battery module cooling. Heat and Mass Transfer/Waerme- und Stoffuebertragung, 1-10. DOI: 10.1007/s00231-016-1794-5http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/2210Thermal management of lithium-ion battery modules needs to be an integral part of the design process to guarantee that temperatures remain within a narrow optimal range. Also it is important to minimize uneven distribution of temperature throughout a battery module so as to enhance the battery life cycle, and, charge and discharge performances. This paper explores by simulation, the benefits of attaching thin surfaces extended into the near-wake of cylindrical lithium-ion cells, here termed integral wake splitters, and, of placing flow guide-vane in the vicinity of the near wake, regarding thermal management.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesThermal managementElectric batteriesLife cycleLithium alloysNusselt numberSecondary batteriesTemperature controlTemperature distributionResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGY::Electrical engineering, electronics and photonics::Electrical engineeringArticle
