Abstract
A two‐dimensional and time‐dependent thermal model of a multicell common pressure vessel (CPV) nickel‐hydrogen battery was developed. A finite element solver called PDE/Protran was used to solve this model. The model was used to investigate the effects of various design parameters on the temperature profile within the cell. The results were used to help find a design that will yield an acceptable temperature gradient inside a multicell CPV nickel‐hydrogen battery. Steady‐state and unsteady‐state cases with a constant heat generation rate and a time‐dependent heat generation rate were solved.Keywords
