Multicomponent Diffusion Systems.

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on coupled multicomponent mass, heat, and charge transfer analyses of chemical and electrochemical systems. First, the Stefan-Maxwell multicomponent diffusion theory is introduced, along with constitutive laws for chemical and electrochemical potential. This set of model equations is then applied to various systems: gas diffusion in a tube, simultaneous mass and charge transfer in a convection battery, coupled heat and charge transfer in a prismatic lithium-ion battery, and coupled heat, mass, and charge transfer in a very-high-capacity lithium-ion cell.PhDMechanical EngineeringUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
