• Abstract
  Mathematical modelling and numerical simulation can help increasing the efficiency, energy and power density of battery systems. It is clear that the accuracy of the modelling depends on the assumptions of the model. Among the different types of modelling, the models based on governing equation can give a very good understanding of the involved physical phenomena. The Silver-Zinc batteries are employed in special applications because of their high energy and power density. Although zinc–silver oxide batteries are very mature, there do not appear to be many existing modelling based on fundamental governing equations. Two dimensional modelling and simulation of electrochemical reactions of battery systems is the main objective of this thesis. In the present work, a general system of governing equations for all types of batteries is presented based on the single–domain approach. The main advantage of this type of modelling is that independently of the type of battery, contains a single–domain formulation which is valid on entire cell sandwich, namely porous electrodes, separator and electrolyte reservoir. Another advantage of the present model is that it is able to simultaneously solve any number of nonlinear and coupled equations in two dimensions. The presented governing equations are numerically solved by using CFD method to get the distribution of variables like potential in electrodes and electrolyte, the concentration of electrolyte and porosity of electrodes all over the cell in states of discharge. The results are compared and verified with experimental tests and the differences between one and two dimensional simulations are discussed.
