Modeling Project: To be announced
General information
.
- The modeling project is optional and to take it you must register. Register by sending me an email to Dag. Either register a full (or partially full) group, or individually, and I will put you in a group.
- The project part of the course will count 25% of the final grade.
- In the project you will work on a modeling problem in a group of 4-5 students over a period of 3 weeks.
- The project description is published here October 27. This year's topic is about modelling lithium ion batteries.
Tentative time line
| Registration deadline: October 27 | |
|---|---|
| Problems published: | October 27 |

Project description for 2023
Modelling of lithium ion batteries. Here you find the Project description.
Errata
- 29/10 : Fixed some typos
- 3/11 : Reformulated Question 5. Added explanations in Section 3.1. Split Question 7 in two.
- 3/11 : Removed "why" in question 3. Set $k_f=k_b$ in Question 7 and remaining from there. Fix the expression of the friction force in Question 13
- 6/11 : Clarification in Question 7, Clarification in Question 12, Fix in equation 13, clarification in 13 (friction force depends on ion type)
- 8/11 : Fixed coefficient in Question 12, fixed definition of $\Delta G$ and $\Delta G_0$ in question 7
- 16/11 : State in question 15 that we want to formulate the equations in the general 3D case.
Each group delivers
- A written report, approximately 10 pages long.
- The report can be either English or Norwegian.
How to work
- Manage your time:
- Expected total time per person: About 3x12=36 hours.
- Try to plan, focus, and limit the work so that you get some results in the expected time without using many extra hours.
- Imagine you work in a company and the group is given 3 weeks and 36 hours per member to finish the project (some results, report, presentation). Do your best with these constraints.
- You can present partial results.
- Try and fail is ok as long as you do not cover up.
- You may discuss across the groups, but reports and presentations must be made independently.
- You may use any literature you find, but you must give references to the source!
- Do not copy from any source without understanding the material first!
