air_cooled_performance(HAS, battery, bus, coolant_line, Q_heat_gen, T_cell, state, delta_t, t_idx)[source]#

Computes the net heat removed by direct air heat acquisition system.

Assumptions: 1) Battery pack cell heat transfer can be modelled as a cooling columns in a cross-flow 2) Isothermal battery cell - the temperature at the center of the cell is the same at the surface of the cell
