Hanyang team develops new Li-metal battery for EV operating conditions; outperforms LMBs in the literature

Green Car Congress

The new LMB is capable of fast charging while delivering a high energy density. In general, however, fast charging accelerates the deleterious dendritic growth of Li and thus aggravates the parasitic reactions between the Liā€“metal anode and electrolyte. a) Summary of conventional LMBs and the LMB concept.

Reaction Design introduces FORTƉ CFD for advanced, 3D internal combustion engine simulations based on detailed fuel chemistry mechanisms

Green Car Congress

The response has been to increase engine complexity with the solutions that designers are coming up with—for example, charge compression ignition, either homogeneous or partially premixed, or new dual fuels concepts. We’re starting to see another layer of complexity. Too much time is spent generating CFD meshes.
