A Numerical Study of the Suitability of Phase-Change Materials for Battery Thermal Management in Flight Applications

Battery pack specific energy, which can be enhanced by minimising the mass of the battery thermal management system (BTMS), is a limit on electric fixed-wing flight applications. In this paper, the use of phase-change materials (PCMs) for BTMSs is numerically explored in the 3D domain, including an...
