Burning Rate Enhancement Analysis of End-Burning Solid Propellant Grains Based on X-Ray Real-Time Radiography by Wei Xianggeng, Bo Tao, Wang Pengbo, Ma Xinjian, Lou Yongchun, Chen Jian

“…By adjusting the initial shape of the grain end surface, the operating pressure of the combustion chamber can be basically unchanged, so as to meet the mission requirements. The results show that the method can measure the burning rate of solid propellant in real time and provide support for the study of nonuniform combustion of solid propellant.…”

Study of different thermal management systems for traction batteries to obtain vehicle lightweighting by Giulia Sandrini, Daniel Chindamo, Marco Gadola, Andrea Candela, Paolo Magri

“…The simulations showed that the air-cooled system leads to greater lightweighting, but it makes the battery cells work far from 20 °C (optimal operating temperature) and therefore it could lead to greater battery cell degradation and its field of application must be limited to vehicles operating in fleets, with predictable mission; this can be overcome by using an appropriate PCM-based cooling system, stearyl alcohol. …”
