Abstract：

Nanofluids　with　high　thermal　conductivity　coefficient　are　introduced　to　the　thermal　management　system　of　power　battery　packs　for　electric　vehicles　and　hybrid　electric　vehicles.　Two　typical　cooling　structures　of　cylindrical　and　square　battery　packs　are　described,　and　their　flow　models　are　established.　By　similarity　transformations,　the　nonlinear　system　of　partial　differential　equations　is　reduced　and　then　solved　numerically　by　the　shooting　method.　The　heat　transfer　properties　of　three　types　of　nanofluids,　that　is,　CuO-EG,　Al2O3-EG,　TiO2-EG,　are　analyzed　in　detail.　It　is　found　that　CuO-EG　nanofluid　is　the　best　coolant　for　the　cylindrical　battery　pack,　whereas　Al2O3-EG　nanofluid　is　the　best　choice　for　square　battery　pack　cooling.　©　2019　Wiley　Periodicals,　Inc.
