Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer Physics Research Unit
Researching thermodynamics and heat transfer physics to advance energy efficiency and thermal management in disaster contexts.
Unit Mission
The Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer Physics Research Unit researches thermodynamics and heat transfer physics — conducting fundamental and applied research on heat transfer mechanisms, thermal management systems, and thermodynamic processes relevant to disaster resilience and environmental remediation. The unit applies thermodynamics, heat transfer, and materials science to develop the thermal management solutions needed for energy-efficient buildings, industrial processes, and remediation technologies that operate under extreme temperature conditions.
Key Functions
Heat Transfer Research
Researching heat transfer mechanisms — investigating conduction, convection, and radiation processes in materials and systems relevant to building energy efficiency, industrial cooling, and remediation technology.
Thermal Management
Designing thermal management systems — developing heat exchangers, thermal insulation, and phase change material systems that manage heat transfer in buildings, industrial processes, and emergency response equipment.
Materials Testing
Testing materials under extreme thermal conditions — evaluating the thermodynamic properties and performance of construction materials, protective equipment, and remediation system components under high-temperature and thermal cycling conditions.
