Research
Areas: Advanced reactor vessel cooling; rocket exhaust
ducts; packed beds; transverse acoustic wave interaction with
a boundary layer; very high pressure gas compressors; laser-materials
processing; casting and welding of alloys; freeze coating;
measurement of radiative properties of solids, liquids, and
gases; radiative heat transfer modeling; transient natural
convection in liquid metals; electromagnetic field effects,
waste heat recovery by phase change particles; two-phase heat
and mass transfer studies: boiling, condensation, absorption,
melting, solidification; heat exchangers, fouling in heat exchange
equipment; mine-waste leachate studies; heat and mass transfer
in battery and fuel cell systems.
