Abstract
The automobile industry has been compelled to transition to environmentally friendly vehicles like fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and electric vehicles (EVs) to address these environmental challenges. The increasing use of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles has made it imperative to create more effective and enhanced battery cooling systems. Using n-eicosane (PCM) and mini-channel cold plates (MCPs), a battery thermal management system (BTMS) can be built to cool a battery pack for numerical examination. Under constant heat generation and various intake coolant velocities, several battery configurations using Mini Channel Cold Plates (MCP) and Mini Channel Cold Plates combined with PCM have been compared for prismatic cells. Here we find a configuration with a maximum cooling effect. After a better cooling configuration, the water is replaced with 0.5% Al2O3 in water(nanofluid) and thermal analysis is conducted.
