BLEVE, or no BLEVE, that is the question – On the superheat limits of solvents commonly used in Li-ion batteries
Published

Abstract
The thermodynamic superheat limits of five solvents commonly used in Li-ion batteries are calculated using the Peng-Robinson equation of state. The superheat limit of a two-component solvent mixture is also estimated using the generalized corresponding states principle. The superheat limit theory is used to discuss potential occurrence of BLEVE during a thermal runaway of a Li-ion battery.
