Talks @ ASME Heat Transfer/energy Sustainability 2022

7/18/2022

Our group had a strong presence at the 16th International ASME Energy Sustainability co-located with the ASME Summer Heat Transfer Conference. Bingjia, Bryan, Mike and Zijie all gave excellent oral presentations and it was also great fun to be back in an in-person conference since 2020. See the list of talks below:

Bingjia Li, Zijie Chen, and Rohini Bala Chandran, Modeling Heat Transfer Including Radiation in Gravity-Driven Granular Flows Using Discrete Element Method, SHTC2022-87817
Zijie Chen and Rohini Bala Chandran, Data-Driven Techniques to Obtain Radiative View Factor Correlations in Particulate Media, SHTC2022-87818
Mike Mayer and Rohini Bala Chandran, Temperature-Dependent Radiative Property Measurements for Non-Contact Temperature Measurements in High Temperature Systems, ES2022-91038
Bryan Kinzer, An Pham, Michael Craig, Impact of Heating Rates on Salt Hydrate Reactor Performance, ES2022-87867

Congrats, Dr. Sundar

Many congratulations to Aditya Sundar, who is co-advised by Liang (Materials Science & Engineering) and Rohini (Mechanical Engineering), for successfully defending his thesis presentation titled "Modeling the structural and chemical stability of materials in reactive environments using multiscale methods".

Aditya has spearheaded a new field of work in TREE Lab focusing on assessing corrosion effects in metal alloy in supercritical CO2 environments at high temperatures up to 1000 C. Thank you for being hard working, diligent and persistent. Good luck to him on his future endeavors as a postdoctoral scholar at Argonne National Laboratory.
