Abstract: This article presents new semianalytical solutions for transient heat conduction in a slab, which exchanges heat at the surface with its surroundings via convection, radiation, or simultaneous convection–radiation mechanisms. ...

Abstract: This paper presents new models of entropy production for incompressible turbulent channel flows. A turbulence model is formulated and analyzed with direct numerical simulation (DNS) data. A Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes ...

Abstract: In this paper, passive thermal management of an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack with phase change material (PCM) is studied numerically. When the temperature in the cells increases, and consequently in the submodule ...

Abstract: Within a Marnoch heat engine (MHE), a water/glycol mixture transfers heat from the heat source into a set of variable flow heat exchangers and removes heat from adjoining cold heat exchangers. The compressed dry air is ...

Abstract: In this study, a thermodynamic model of a hybrid electric vehicle battery thermal management system (TMS) is developed and the efficiency of the system is determined based on different parameters and operating conditions. ...

Abstract: In this paper, exergy analysis of a hybrid electric vehicle thermal management system (TMS) is initially investigated in order to find the areas of inefficiencies and exergy destruction within each system component. In the ...
