Abstract
AbstractThe battery pack is one of the crucial components in the creation of an electric car. Thus, its optimal and efficient functioning is of prime importance. Several issues are generated due to battery heating which may be fatal and can cause severe issues. The battery cooling system is one of the most effective ways to keep the battery pack at the ideal temperature for lithium‐ion cells to function properly. This article mainly focuses on MATLAB Simulink simulation‐based novel battery cooling system design using Nanofluids. In this simulation study, the employed nanofluids are compared mostly to ethylene glycol. The simulation findings demonstrated that employing nanofluid as the coolant cools the battery pack more quickly than using ethylene glycol. It was found that ethylene glycol can cool the battery pack within 480 seconds while with the use of nanofluids the battery pack was cooled in just 150 seconds considering the temperature cooling from 40°C to 25°C. The effective and fast cooling of Nanofluids is due to the higher value of thermal conductivity of the fluid which plays a major role in heat transfer. Thus, fluid properties mainly thermal conductivity must be focused upon and % concentration of nanoparticles in the base fluid must be increased to get more effective cooling.
