Temperature sensors in electric vehicle (EV) battery packs measure temperature only where they are mounted. Nevertheless, a battery management system (BMS) must use limited local readings to reconstruct the pack temperature field, detect developing hot spots, and drive cooling decisions that reflect cell-level conditions. This article reviews how sensor placement and density affect BMS monitoring…
The same overheating problem that happens to our laptops also plagues computer servers and data centers around the world—and heat management is only getting harder as computer chips get more compact and powerful. Understanding how heat moves through chips at the microscale is essential for continuing to improve their performance. Unfortunately, most methods for measuring […]
