Paraffin Nanocomposites for Heat Management of Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Computational Investigation

Figure 3

Different structures of nanofillers used in this study. We studied the thermal conductivity of paraffin nanocomposites filled with fullerene, graphene, and carbon nanotubes (CNT). Under each filler, the constructed finite element model in Abaqus is shown with 5% volume concentrations for filler. Under each finite element model, the temperature distribution obtained from the application of the heat flux is plotted.
