Excellent plastic moldings is possible through optimization of many molding parameters. In particular, the deformation of a plastic part is affected by various factors during molding. Therefore, it is very important to select the optimum molding conditions that minimize the deformation of the molded part. Experimental design is used to select optimal molding conditions. In this study, the molding conditions were selected to minimize the deformation of the electric plastic plug of the electric vehicle using the Taguchi method in the experimental design method. Using the Taguchi Method, we found that the deformation of the plug moldings was reduced by about 7.2% compared to before optimization.

Recently, as demand for Electric Car has been increasing, it has been a main factor that maximizing performance and ensuring the stability of the Electric Car battery to increase the reliability of Electric Car. Above all the study on thermal control in a big influence on the performance and battery life is growing in parallel. This study has compared cooling effect of an Electric Car battery between battery with Heat Sink and without Heat Sink for optimum design of Electric Car battery. Battery is simply modeled into four cells, divided into two cases of battery with Heat Sink that attached on the cell's side and without Heat Sink. And this research was conducted on forced convection. The battery which is designed by this way was numerically analyzed by CFX 14.5. Numerical results, revealed that the battery with Heat Sink was superior in terms of cooling effect. According to the numerical analysis by battery cell's temperature variations, the battery with Heat Sink turned out to be superior in cooling effect to the battery without Heat Sink.
