Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates thermal runaway (TR) and how it behaves in large lithium-ion batteries under different states of charge (SOC).
  • Experiments using an advanced calorimeter reveal that TR begins at the front surface of the battery and spreads throughout, with a significantly shorter propagation time at 100% SOC compared to 50% SOC.
  • The findings highlight that batteries at full charge exhibit intense combustion, whereas those at half charge produce more smoke, emphasizing the importance of SOC in the safety design of battery modules.

Coal dust explosions (CDE) are one of the main threats to the occupational safety of coal miners. Aiming to identify and assess the risk of CDE, this paper proposes a novel method of fuzzy fault tree analysis combined with the Visual Basic (VB) program. In this methodology, various potential causes of the CDE are identified and a CDE fault tree is constructed.
