Summary: Battery thermal management system (BTMS) maintains optimal temperature and temperature difference of Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). This paper proposes three kinds of liquid cooling plates with mesh structures (LCP-MSs) and compares them with LCP with straight channel (LCP-SC). Results show that LCP-MSs effectively improve temperature uniformity and reduce heat concentration. Among the proposed LCP-MSs, LCP with drop-shaped deflectors (LCP-DD) stands out in reducing pressure drop (AP) of coolant. Cooling performance between LCP-DD and the other LCP-MSs is similar. Additionally, the study investigates the influence of structural parameters, number of deflectors, layout of deflectors, and inlet velocity on the cooling performance and AP of LCP-DD. An orthogonal test is carried out to optimize the design, achieving control of maximum temperature, maximum temperature difference, and pressure drop at 301.3 K, 3.1 K, and 251 Pa, respectively.

Summary: A centrally dispersed squarespiral-ring (SSR) mini-channel liquid cooling plate is designed for power batteries to alleviate the temperature gradient effect caused by high local temperature. The effects of different factors on battery temperature and coolant pressure drop are investigated numerically. Increasing the SSR channel laps, narrowing the channel width, and enhancing the inlet mass flow rate have beneficial impacts on improving temperature distribution and reducing maximum battery temperature. Additional branch channels can further enhance temperature uniformity and gradient effect of the battery.

Summary: A 2D mathematical model is established to study the thermal responses of a tubular methanol-fueled solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Results show that the peak temperature gradient occurs near the fuel inlet at high temperature condition due to the rapid temperature rise induced by elevated current density. Excessive air cannot eliminate the harmful temperature gradient caused by high current density, but controlling the current density can generate a local thermal neutral state. Supplying air with a slightly higher temperature can reduce the maximum axial temperature gradient. Additionally, the counter-flow arrangement may not be preferable for a ceramic SOFC system considering thermal durability.

Summary: Reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) has the potential for power generation and storage by flexibly switching between fuel cell and electrolyzer modes. However, the dynamic mode switching leads to performance decline and even cell failure due to reversed electrochemical reactions and severe temperature fluctuation. This study proposes a thermal management strategy combining rSOC with thermochemical energy storage (TES) to store/supply heat during exothermic/endothermic processes. The integrated system shows significant improvement in temperature control, energy consumption reduction, and safer operation during mode switching.

Summary: Protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) were studied to investigate the effects of structural parameters on cogeneration performance. Increasing cell length and electrochemical reaction section (ERS) enhance the ethylene yield. The highest ethylene yield of 44% was obtained in a 10 cm PCFC at 973 K. By decreasing the ERS ratio, the current density can be enhanced up to 14% and reaches the highest value of 2235 A m(-2) in an 8 cm PCFC with a 30% ERS ratio. This model provides insights into the relationship between structural parameters and cogeneration performance in PCFC and can be applied to other hydrocarbon fuels.

Summary: Under the context of climate change, there is a call for a paradigm shift towards environmentally sensitive urban design. This study examines the impact of neighborhood layout heterogeneity on carbon emissions, considering five indicators and different renewable energy application ratios. Through multiple linear regression analysis, it is found that building density and shape heterogeneity significantly influence neighborhood carbon emissions. The heterogeneity of building height hinders carbon reduction efforts, while the heterogeneity of building shape improves carbon reduction through facade solar energy collection. However, there is a trade-off in decision-making when designing low-carbon neighborhoods due to the opposite effects of layout heterogeneity on solar energy collection and building energy consumption.
