💡 Here's another example of product innovation powered by Onshape, a PTC Technology at one of the worldwide leaders in the field of #turbochargers for the #automotive industry. 🚗

Thermal modelling is an essential part of developing clean combustion engines using hydrogen, ammonia or ethanol fuels. 🔥 The 2024.1 release of the thermal analysis tool, #FEARCE-Vulcan has extended flexibility and accuracy when tuning in-cylinder temperatures for hydrogen combustion with a range of Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) models available. The new functionality extends simulation for more engine applications and operating conditions, with accurate hydrogen combustion temperature modelling especially for low engine speeds.

In our latest blog post, find out how CFD can help you overcome the challenges of designing safe and reliable hydrogen storage technology. We highlight a case study in which we used CONVERGE to study the filling process of a hydrogen storage tank, validating our results against data from the HyTransfer project. With CONVERGE’s autonomous meshing and conjugate heat transfer modeling, we’re able to accurately capture the hydrogen jet dynamics and the temperature profiles within the tank.

Are the current solid state offerings worthy of the promise? How does the World changing around us affect the Solid Sate battery proposition? How, when, why will they win versus lithium ion liquid? I look forward to exploring these questions and more at this years SSB conference. See you there! #battery #solidstate #EV #energystorage #ARPA #cleanenergy #highenergy

It’s not always about electric vehicles! Hydrogen use as fuel within an engine has been one of our success stories. Find out more by following our story below 👇 #mahle #hydrogennow #hydrogenfuel #hydrogeninnovation

Busch has made a decisive contribution to the efficient use of the fuel cell technology by launching the first TÜV-certified hydrogen recirculation blower: the MINK MH 0018 A series. 🙌 It has been specially developed for the reliable recirculation of hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells generate electric current through an electrochemical process, which means they don’t burn fuel like traditional combustion engines, and do not produce any harmful emissions. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to produce electricity, with water and heat as by-products. This technology can be used to drive the motor in electric vehicles, to provide backup power in critical infrastructures, or to supply electricity to large ships.

Our paper “Investigation of the mechanism behind the surge in nitrogen dioxide emissions in engines transitioning from pure diesel operation to methanol/diesel dual-fuel operation” has been accepted by the journal Fuel Processing Technology (Impact Factor 7.2), and is scheduled to be published in Nov 2024. The accepted version is now available online at https://lnkd.in/eYiG4nh4

Solid-State Batteries: A Springboard to a Carbon-Free Future with Dr. Halle Cheeseman from ARPA-E. Solid-state batteries are getting close to serious consideration for automotive applications, but for the most part the cathode chemistries to be utilized will be those that have been well proven in lithium-ion. High energy cathodes coupled with lithium anodes are the ultimate destiny for solid-state technologies, because they will deliver energy densities that exceed 500 Wh/Kg and may even attain 1,000 Wh/Kg. In this presentation these chemistries will be explored, and both the challenges and opportunities discussed. Selected technologies will be shown as examples from the ARPA-E EVs4ALL and PROPEL-1K portfolios.  https://lnkd.in/davw7MK #CET4SolidState

Want to learn how thermal interface materials can improve performance and maintain the stability of EV batteries? October webinar with Sandrine Teixeira de Carvalho, Stammer Chemie GmbH, will address and explore the important role of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) in performance and safety of #battery packs for #EV applications and the effect of different fillers and various properties that determine the choice for an ideal interface material in batteries.

Tuning Energy Transfer Pathways in Halide Perovskite–Dye Hybrids through Bandgap Engineering with Akshaya Chemmangat, Jishnudas Chakkamalayath, Jeffrey DuBose J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024 https://lnkd.in/g5h3YRAx Through simple halide exchange, one can precisely tune the ratio of singlet to triplet energy transfer and the mechanism between Förster or Dexter energy transfer, and through careful selection of the pendant groups on the acceptor dye, the energy transfer efficiency, rate constant of energy transfer, and strength of donor–acceptor binding can all be readily modulated more than an order of magnitude. This unprecedented degree of excited-state engineering is something unique to halide perovskites, owing to the facile nature of the halide exchange reaction which can tune the exciton energy over ∼1.3 eV, without changing the size of the nanocrystals.
