Handbook of Thermal Management Systems: e-Mobility and Other Energy Applications

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 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. Chapters provide a basic understanding of the thermodynamics behind the development of a thermal management system, update on Batteries, Fuel Cells, Solar Panels, and Other Electronics, provide a detailed description of components, and discuss fundamentals. 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. 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 the technology development for future green and sustainable transportation systems Focuses on the practical aspects and implementation of thermal management systems through industrial case studies, real-world examples, and solutions to key problems
