TL;DR: A critical review of the available literature on the major thermal issues for lithium-ion batteries is presented in this article, where specific attention is paid to the effects of temperature and thermal management on capacity/power fade, thermal runaway, and pack electrical imbalance.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for predicting heat transfer during condensation of refrigerant R134a in horizontal microchannels is presented, based on the approach originally developed by Traviss, D. P., Rohsenow, W. M., and Baron, A. B., 1973, "Forced-Convection Condensation Inside Tubes: A Heat Transfer Equation for Condenser Design," ASHRAE Trans., 79(1), pp. 157-165 and Moser, K. W., Webb, R. L., and Na, B

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured heat transfer coefficients in six non-circular horizontal microchannels (0.424 < Dh < 0.839 mm) of different shapes during condensation of refrigerant R134a over the mass flux range 150 < G < 750 kg m−2 s−1 were measured.

TL;DR: In this article, reversible and irreversible electrochemical heat generation rates were measured experimentally on a small commercially available C/LiFePO 4 lithium-ion battery designed for high-rate applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel internal cooling system that utilizes passive liquid-vapor phase change processes is investigated using representative geometry and a surrogate heat source, and the results show that the mass flow rate increased to a maximum near a heat input of 1350 W−1, and there was a slight influence of saturation temperature on the performance of the system.
