Battery energy storage systems become increasingly important to address the intermittency of renewable energies, but their widespread adoption is still hindered by thermal concerns. However, a single thermal management strategy cannot ensure the overall performance of energy storage battery systems. In this study, a hybrid strategy combining topological fin structure, phase change material, and active liquid cooling is established for 280 Ah lithium-ion battery pack. A fluidic-thermal-phase change coupled model is built and verified experimentally. Meanwhile, a novel comprehensive evaluation parameter is defined to feature the overall performance of thermal management system. Based on this, comparative investigations are conducted to assess the efficiency of three cooling strategies. Despite additional weight caused by hybrid design, topological fin structure not only constructs the thermal conduction in phase change material but also dissipates the accumulated heat by connecting cold plate. Additionally, the impacts of fin fraction, thickness of phase change material, and inlet velocity are systematically explored using single-factor analysis. Furthermore, a surrogate-based model is utilized to reveal the interactions between design parameters and system performance, while accomplishing a global optimization. In contrast to original design, comprehensive evaluation parameter is reduced by 0.218, 0.273, 0.256, and 0.2 for discharge rates of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1C, respectively.

Supercritical multiple mixtures (H 2 O/CO 2 ) fluids are produced in the poly-generation system based on supercritical water gasification (SCWG). Understanding the thermophysical property of supercritical multiple mixtures fluid is rather essential to design and industrialize the poly-generation system. At present, the selection of force field models for H 2 O/CO 2 mixtures are rather complicated, chaotic and inconsistent, the calculation of each parameter necessitates the use of one force field model. There is no universal force field model to calculate and conduct thermophysical property of H 2 O/CO 2 at one time in a wide range of temperature within SCW. In this paper, heat capacity, viscosity and thermal conductivity of multiple mixtures in supercritical and near-critical water (575 K–1075 k) are first investigated via a novel common force field model with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The effects of different factors including the pressure, temperature and CO 2 mass fraction on thermophysical properties of H 2 O/CO 2 at a wide range of temperature were first analyzed and conducted in detail. The calculated results indicate that the phenomenon “critical point drift” for viscosity and thermal conductivity of H 2 O/CO 2 mixtures migrating toward the low temperature region occurs. The drift values of viscosity and thermal conductivity are about 10 K and 28 K. The variation of heat capacity and viscosity of H 2 O/CO 2 mixtures increases with increasing pressures only in low temperatures region (700 K-–800 K), while the thermal conductivity always increases with increasing pressures. When the mass fractions of CO 2 increases from 20 % to 40 % and 60 %, the drift values for thermal conductivity and viscosity of H 2 O/CO 2 mixtures decreases from 628 K to 624 K and 620 K, and from 627 K to 618 K and 610 K, respectively, and the peak heat capacity decreases from 64.9 J/mol·K to 52.4 J/mol·K and 45.1 J/mol·K.

Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of graphite comprising sp2-hybridized carbon atoms arranged in the hexagonal honeycomb lattices. By removing the honeycomb lattices and forming nanopores with specific geometry and size, nanoporous graphene has been demonstrated as a very high-efficiency separation membrane, due to the ultrafast molecular permeation rate for its one-atom thickness. This review focuses on the recent advances in nanoporous graphene membrane for the applications of gas separation and water purification, with a major emphasis on the molecular permeation mechanisms and the advanced fabrication methods of this state-of-the-art membrane. We highlight the advanced theoretical and experimental works and discuss the gas/water molecular transport mechanisms through the graphene nanopores accompanied with theoretical models. In addition, we summarize some representative membrane fabrication methods, covering the graphene transfer to porous substrates and the pore generation. We anticipate that this review can provide a platform for understanding the current challenges to make the conceptual membrane a reality and attracting more and more attentions from scientists and engineers.

To conduct the thermal transport characteristics and operational stability of the steam generation system (SGS) under partial load conditions in concentrating solar power (CSP), a real-scale shell-and-tube steam generator hydrodynamics predictive model is developed. This model integrates lumped parameter methods with the finite volume method to account for heat transfer and phase change. Additionally, in accordance with the prevailing water circulation mode in the CSP plant, a typical model of the natural circulation system is established, while optimal stable operating points of the maximum circulation mass flow rate under varying operating conditions are determined. The results indicate that the inherent stability of the generator strongly lies in the dynamic compromise between its thermodynamic and hydrodynamic characteristics. Under high load conditions, the natural circulation mode demonstrates excellent flow stability. Operating at lower operating pressures results in greater circulation flow and a heightened sensitivity to phase changes. Under system pressures of 13.76, 11.08, 8.39, and 6.71 MPa, the recommended circulation ratios are determined to be 5.38, 7.86, 11.95, and 16.07, respectively. Furthermore, the stability of the circulation curve is optimized by adjusting the structural dimensions of the steam generator. The sensitivity to evaporation capacity and heat exchanger effectiveness is assessed.

The air-Brayton cycle has the characteristics of safety and high efficiency, which can be used as an energy conversion system for mobile small reactors. The air turbine is one of the key components in the cycle system, and improving its performance is of great significance. In this paper, an artificial neural network model combined with a genetic algorithm was used to optimize the rotor of an air centrifugal turbine with axial thrust and efficiency as the objective. The results show that the artificial neural network model can fit the CFD numerical simulation results well, with a coefficient of determination larger than 0.97. Then, after optimizing the artificial neural network model with a genetic algorithm, the total -total efficiency of the air centrifugal turbine was improved by 1.479%, while the axial thrust was reduced by 1.07%.
