  • Abstract:
  • Battery thermal management has been a very active research focus in recent years because of its great essentiality for electric vehicles. The proposed cooling system utilizes a liquid coolant that circulates through channels embedded within or adjacent to the battery cells, effectively absorbing and dissipating heat generated during operation. By maintaining the battery temperature within an optimal range, the liquid cooling system enhances the efficiency and lifespan of the battery while preventing thermal runway, which can lead to sudden failures. Simulation results show that three cooling channels were utilized to compute the rate of heat transfer for water as well as ethylene glycol. In the serpentine channel, the heat transfer rate of water is high at 39.12% as compared to ethylene glycol also in the wavy cooling channel, the heat transfer rate of water is high at 31.35% and in the cells embedded channel, the heat transfer rate of water is 5.09%, from the further research work serpentine channel is efficient because of the heat transfer rate is high and water is more efficient as a working fluid. Electric vehicles utilize lithium-ion batteries, and proper thermal management ensures optimal performance, safety, and lifetime.
