Research Update No.7 (Mar 13th)

3/12/2014

0 Comments

 
My degree paper topic is defined as the multi-scale thermal transport modeling for nanostructured electrodes. The major work is inspired by the process of my literature review of  nano material and the paper Combined Microstructure and Heat Conduction Modeling of Heterogeneous Interfaces and Materials . The content is listed below:

  1. Relate the micro structure to the transport properties for nano electrode. Understanding how specific nano structure like coating, core-shell, hierarchical will change the thermal transport.
  2. Choose appropriate parameter transmission framework (network, HMM and others) for micro to meso and macro. Now the candidate model is multi-scale network method.   
  3. Using macro scale simulation (COMSOL) to analyze how the micro and mesoscopic geo parameter will affect the whole battery performance.



Research Memos

1.    Multi-scale informatics

With the emerging of nano science, scientist collected a lot of interesting information from micro structures, which is  . However, the engineering paradigm is still macro modeling. How to accommodate the new information became a critical issue. I am building up the "multi-scale informatics" thinking.  my idea about material transport properties while doing senior design. I am trying to link the nano structure material transport properties to macro properties. But I just started and looking forward to discover more topics to talk about. 


2.   Complex system and design optimization Also , I am interested in thinking about engineering from complex system and using data analysis . Complexity is one of the major characteristics for the future technology development. Using data tools to facilitate science exploration and engineering design is my prospective for the future. As a consequence, I am reading about graph theories and applied them into a complex network analysis.  You may find it out on my web http://www.letianwang.me/network-analysis.html. I also came up with an idea using data to facilitate the electrode research for Lithium-ion battery: http://www.letianwang.me/engineering-design-for-nano-electrode.html
