design_wavy_channel(HAS, battery, single_side_contact=True, dry_mass=True, solver_name='SLSQP', iterations=200, solver_sense_step=0.0001, solver_tolerance=0.001, print_iterations=False)

Optimizes wavy channel geometric properties input parameters to minimize either design power and mass. This scrip adopts RCAIDE’s native optimization style where the objective function is expressed as a sizing function, considering both power and mass.

Inputs: HAS.

Maximum heat generated by the battery pack. Wavy Channel width Wavy Channel thhickness Wavy Channel contact angle

Outputs:

Wavy Channel width Wavy Channel thhickness Wavy Channel contact angle Mass of Heat Acquisition System Power Consumed by Heat Acquisition System

Assumptions:

The wavy channel extracts from the battery pack considering it to be a lumped mass.
