Solution • This case describes the cooling of a simplified battery cell, modelled as a cuboid with two connectors. A potential diffusion problem was solved with a voltage difference applied to the connectors. The resulting electric current density was used to apply a heat source for a transient heat transfer problem. A convective boundary condition was applied to the bottom surface of the cell in order to model the cooling plate Result • The resulting temperature distribution o
