Solution Temperature#

Solution Temperature = {model_name} <float_list>

Description / Usage#

This card is used to specify the temperature of an electrolyte solution (i.e., when diffusion and migration transport of charged species is involved).

{model_name}

Name of the electrolyte-solution model, for which there are currently two options: CONSTANT and THERMAL_BATTERY; the former model has a single parameter in the <float_list> while the latter has six.

CONSTANT

A constant model of the solution temperature.

  • <float1> - the value of electrolyte-solution temperature.

THERMAL_BATTERY

A specialized model of electrolyte solutions for Thermal Batteries (Chen, et. al., 2000).

  • <float1> - Initial electrolyte solution temperature ( K )

  • <float2> - Ambient temperature ( K )

  • <float3> - Cross-sectional area from which heat is lost to ambient ( m2

  • <float4> - Heat transfer coefficient ( W/m2/K )

  • <float5> - Mass of battery cell ( kg )

  • <float6> - Heat capacity of electrolyte solution ( J/kg/K)

Examples#

The following are two sample input cards:

Solution Temperature = CONSTANT 313.0

Solution Temperature = THERMAL_BATTERY 846. 298. 0.0316 7.7 0.6 1030.
