📚 Scientific Background

Thermal Runaway Physics

Thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries involves critical temperature thresholds:

60°C: SEI decomposition onset
90°C: Separator shrinkage
120°C: Separator melting (critical failure)
150°C+: Complete thermal runaway

Mathematical Foundation

Correction Factor: CF(t) = T_3D(t) / T_0D(t)

Heat Transfer Equation:

∂T/∂t = α∇²T + Q_gen/(ρCp)

Arrhenius Kinetics:

k = A·exp(-Ea/RT)
