With the widespread application of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems and electric vehicle power batteries, optimizing liquid cooling systems to effectively manage heat and prevent thermal runaway has become crucial for enhancing the safety and efficiency of energy storage systems. Addressing issues of cooling efficiency and uneven temperature distribution in battery packs, this study designed a parallel serpentine channel liquid cooling plate to improve coolant flow efficiency and heat exchange capacity by optimizing the channel structure. The temperature distribution of the battery pack under different discharge rates (1, 1.5, and 2 C) and the impact of two layouts of the parallel serpentine channel on cooling performance are investigated to identify the optimal configuration. Numerical simulations of a 280 Ah lithium-ion battery are conducted using Ansys Fluent and AMEsim, establishing a thermal model based on Bernardi's heat generation rate, mass flow, and conservation equations of momentum and energy. Experimental results demonstrate that the second layout exhibits a superior cooling performance and better thermal uniformity. Increasing the coolant flow rate effectively reduces the maximum temperature of the battery pack under 2 C operation, highlighting the significance of the optimized liquid cooling system design in enhancing the safety and performance of lithium-ion battery packs.

Flow fields (FFs) play multifaceted roles in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) by facilitating the transport and distribution of species, removal of products, support to the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), electrical conductivity, water, and thermal management. Therefore, the performance of DMFC is directly related to the pattern and geometry of the FF. DMFCs can generate power density of up to ≈100-300 mW cm; however, their performance is impeded by cathode flooding, CO gas bubbles formation, and mass transfer limitations.

Understanding the dynamics of topological defects in liquid crystals is essential for optimizing their performance in adaptive optics, responsive surfaces, and advanced display technologies. Here, we investigate the dynamics of disclination loops enclosing an escaped structure in a nematic liquid crystal, known as dowser domains, within microfluidic channels of various geometries. Through a combination of experiments and numerical simulations, we demonstrate that fluid flow, dictated by the channel geometry alone, governs the dynamics, shape, and size of these domains.

Electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CORR) holds great promise as a CO emission mitigation strategy while producing valuable chemicals. This study draws inspiration from desert-dwelling lizards to design a flow-field that increases the performance of the CORR in a zero-gap CO electrolyzer. It achieves a CO partial current density of 165.

Background And Aims: Serpentine outcrops, characterized by low nutrient availability, high heavy metal concentrations, propensity to drought, and island-like distributions, offer valuable systems to study parallelisms in repeated adaptation to extreme environments. While shared phenotypic manifestation of adaptation to serpentine environments has been investigated in many species, it is still unclear whether there may be a common genetic basis underlying such responses. Here we assess local adaptation to serpentine soil and infer the parallel genetic signatures of local adaptation to serpentine environments in two thus far unexplored closely related species, Alyssum gmelinii and Alyssum spruneri (Brassicaceae).
