Topology optimization of lithium ion batteries: How to maximize the discharge capacity by changing the geometry

Discharge capacity is an important factor that determines the performance of lithium ion battery. The internal resistance of the electrodes influence the discharge capacity. As the electrode geometry influences its resistance, topology optimization can be applied to determine the electrode shape such that it has a minimal internal resistance and...

Topology Optimization of Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers have long been used in a wide variety of industrial applications, such as for energy recovery from by-products, temperature regulation in chemical processes, refrigeration, or cooling of car engines. Typically, each application requires a different type of heat exchanger such as, tube, shell, with/without phase change, mixing/non...
