Thermally-operating regimes for a three-layer liquid metal battery
Riyad Hassaine, Olivier Crumeyrolle, Innocent Mutabazi
Thermally-operating regimes of a three-layer liquid metal battery are determined in terms of the aspect ratio. The heat exchange between the battery container and the environment i…
