MIE 1199 HS – Special Topics in Thermal Science: Thermal Phenomena, Performance

and Management of Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Description

This course will describe the thermal phenomena in Electric Vehicles (EVs), including the main
circuits associated to the power train, cabin, and battery. A major focus will be on thermal
performance and management of power electronics, chargers and batteries, with particular
emphasis on Lithium-ion batteries which are expected to be the most used battery for EVs in the
next decades. Students in this course are expected to have a basic understanding of electro-
chemistry terminologies (e.g., voltage, current, resistance) and undergraduate-level fundamental
knowledge of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer.
