Abstract Energy storage batteries can smooth the volatility of renewable energy sources. The operating conditions during power grid integration of renewable energy can affect the performance and failure risk of battery energy storage system (BESS). However, the current modeling of grid-connected BESS is overly simplistic, typically only considering state of charge (SOC) and power constraints. Detailed lithium (Li)-ion battery cell models are computationally intensive and impractical for real-time applications and may not be suitable for power grid operating conditions. Additionally, there is a lack of real-time batteries risk assessment frameworks. To address these issues, in this… More >

Abstract The accurate characterization of the anisotropic thermal-mechanical constitutive properties of structural sheet metals at elevated temperatures and under nonuniform stress/strain states is crucial for the precise hot plastic forming and structural behavior evaluation of an engineering sheet part. Traditional thermal-mechanical testing methods rely on the assumption of states homogeneity, leading to a large number of tests required for the characterization of material anisotropy and nonlinearity at various high temperatures. In this work, a highly efficient identification method is proposed that allows the simultaneous characterization of the anisotropic yielding, strain hardening and elasto-plasticity thermal softening material More >

Abstract Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) technology was employed to fabricate internal structures within the hollow interiors of rotating parts, such as tubes and cylinders. A three-dimensional transient multiphysics model for C276 material was developed, which anticipated the impact of angular velocity from tube rotation on various aspects. This model, validated by experiments, focused on the melt pool morphology, Marangoni convection, oriented crystal microevolution, and deposited material microhardness. It was found that at 150 ms deposition, the dimensions of the melt pool stabilized. With an increase in the Peclet number, heat transfer within the melt pool… More >

Abstract Superior thermal insulating and fire-retardant ceramic membranes are urgently demanded in the aerospace, construction and chemical engineering industries. However, the generic characteristics of ceramic membranes, such as brittleness, structural collapse and crystallization-induced pulverization behavior, present a great plague to their practical applications. Herein, we report a highly flexible, mechanically stable, fire retardant and high-temperature-resistant ceramic membrane based on the interlocked Si₃N₄ nanowires formed by the precursor pyrolysis method. The Si₃N₄ nanowires membrane (SNM) has excellent high temperature resistance under alcohol lamp and butane spray lance. The thermal insulation with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.056… More >

Abstract As climate change accelerates due to fossil fuel use, geothermal energy emerges as an indispensable renewable solution 1. Hot dry rock (HDR) reservoirs, accounting for more than 90% of total geothermal resources 2, have gained wide attention worldwide for their abundant reserves, wide distribution, and carbon-free, stable, and efficient supply characteristics 3. While HDR geothermal energy offers significant potential, its development faces challenges, including the complex interaction between fluid flow, heat transfer, reactive solute transport, and the rock’s mechanical processes, referred to as the THMC coupling process 4. Cracks, ubiquitous in HDR geothermal reservoirs, exhibit… More >

Abstract In this paper, the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-radiation-natural convection of a hybrid nanofluid within a U-shaped wavy porous cavity is investigated. This problem has relevant applications in optimizing thermal management systems in electronic devices, solar energy collectors, and other industrial applications where efficient heat transfer is very important. The study is based on the application of a numerical approach using the Finite Difference Method (FDM) for the resolution of the governing equations, which incorporates the Rosseland approximation for thermal radiation and the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model for porous media. It was found that the increase of Hartmann number… More >

Abstract The external rotor hub motor adopts direct drive mode, no deceleration drive device, and has a compact structure. Its axial size is smaller than that of a deceleration-driven hub motor, which greatly reduces the weight of the vehicle and increases the cruising range of the vehicle. Because of the limited special working environment and performance requirements, the hub motor has a small internal space and a large heat generation, so it puts forward higher requirements for heat dissipation capacity. For the external rotor hub motor, a new type of in-tank water-cooled structure of hub motor… More >
