    Abstract: The low thermal conductivity of phase-change materials (PCMs) hampers the commercialization of PCM cooling battery thermal management systems. Further reduction of the thermal resistance between the PCM and batteries is still a challenging problem. In this study, a PCM / pin fin design is proposed. ANSYS Fluent was used to construct the model of PC... Show More
