RESEARCH
- Methods, processes, components, technologies and systems for the collection, recovery, utilization, conversion and/or storage of energy for heating, cooling and power, novel 'total energy' integration schemes in high-efficiency systems with emphasis on renewable and waste heat, and solar energy.
- Hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) collectors and solar combined cooling, heating and power (S-CCHP) trigeneration systems in distributed applications.
- Waste-heat recovery and conversion to heating, cooling and/or power with advanced cycles.
- Nuclear energy thermohydraulics and next-generation thermodynamic power systems.
- Thermodynamics and fluid flow/heat transfer effects in conversion devices and machines, heat exchangers and other high-performance components.
- Transport processes, heat and fluid flows in energy technologies, urban environments, physiological systems, etc., including turbulent, inhomogeneous, multiphase and reacting flows.
- Multiphase and interfacial flows, including horizontal, vertical or inclined liquid-liquid or gas-liquid flows.
- Novel fluid mixing and bioreactor design and characterization.
- Autoignition, combustion and post-ignition flame propagation phenomena.
- Gasification of heavy oil, and coal and syngas production.
- Development and application of advanced diagnostics: high-resolution intrusive and non-intrusive (optical/laser-based) techniques for the measurement for velocity, turbulence, species, concentration, phase distribution, temperature, heat flux and reaction with particle image velocimetry (PIV), particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), infrared (IR) thermography, and related techniques.
