CALBET Estimating Heat Release During Thermal Runaway of Lithium-Ion Cells

CALBET software interface

Authors: Antonio Garcia Martinez, Carlos Micó, Imad Elkourchi, and Jaime Martín CALBET (CALorimetric Battery Energy Tool) is an in-house thermodynamic model developed at CMT – Clean Mobility & Thermofluids, Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) to analyze the thermal runaway (TR) behavior of lithium-ion cells under accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) conditions. The model has been designed to provide a fast, robust, and … Read more

What is Calorimetry?

adiabatic calorimeter designed for battery testing

Author: Mario Toubes-Rodrigo, Application Specialist, H.E.L Group Calorimetry is a branch of thermodynamics that deals with heat transfer quantification. Heat can be transferred during a variety of processes, such as chemical reactions, phase changes, or dissolution of solutes in a solvent. Calorimetry follows the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created … Read more
