Handbook of Thermal Management Systems

Handbook of Thermal Management Systems: e-Mobility and Other Energy Applications is a comprehensive reference on the thermal management of key renewable energy sources and other electronic components. With an emphasis on practical applications, the book addresses the thermal management systems of batteries, fuel cells, solar panels, electric motors, as well as a range of other electronic devices that are crucial for the development of sustainable transport systems.The opening chapter of the book provides a basic understanding of the thermodynamics behind the development of a thermal management system. This is followed by structured sections on Batteries, Fuel Cells, Solar Panels, and Other Electronics. Each section starts with a detailed description of the components in question, followed by the fundamentals of their thermal modelling. Dedicated chapters then systematically examine the heating, cooling, and phase changes of each system, supported by numerical analyses, simulations, and experimental data. These chapters include discussion of the latest technologies and methods, and practical guidance on their application in real-world system-level projects, as well as case studies from engineering systems that are currently in operation. Finally, next-generation technologies and methods are discussed and considered.Thermal Management Systems for e-mobility and other energy applications is an invaluable reference for students, researchers, and engineers working in the areas of energy storage, thermal management, and power engineering, and will also be of interest to electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineers working more broadly on sustainable transport and power systems in the automotive, aerospace, maritime, and power industries. Presents a comprehensive overview of thermal management systems for modern electronic technologies related to energy production, storage, and sustainable transportation Addresses the main bottlenecks in technology development for future green and sustainable transportation systems Focuses on the practical aspects and implementation of thermal management systems through industrial case studies and real-world examples, and provides solutions to key problems
