3. Your head of powertrain has found a battery cell with excellent specifications and yet cheap. He decides upon a 142s2p accumulator configuration using the cells with a capacity of 5.8 Ah. The manufacturer specifies an internal impedance of 1.5 mOhm. However, after a while you notice the cells are of horrible quality and their real capacity varies significantly leading to an unbalanced accumulator.

He performed experiements to find an approximation of the cells SoC relation to their open-circuit voltage (EMF) as shown in the following figure:

1. You would like to drink a cup of very hot coffee with milk early in the morning, but you
are in a hurry and have only 5 minutes until you have to leave for work. At which time
after brewing should you add the cold milk to the coffee and stir in order to decrease the

minute for drinking.

brew temperature C = 80 ◦C, temperature of milk = M = 10 ◦C, room temperature
0 = 20 ◦C, volume of coffee VC = 300 ml, volume of milk VM = 100 ml, specific heat
capacity of coffee cC = 4180 J/(kgK), specific heat capacity of milk cM = 3500 J/(kgK).
