Research Areas

  • Heat/Mass Transfer
    1. Modelling/experimental studies of intermittent microwave/radiant heating for drying of heat-sensitive products in heat pump dryers
      1. Spouted bed drying - hydrodynamics/drying
    2. Novel dryers - impinging streams; drying of slurries in inverted jet-fluidized beds of inert particles; cyclic vacuum/pressure drying at ambient conditions; superheated steam drying of foods
    3. Impinging jet heat transfer - effects of cross-flow, physical property variation etc.
    4. Phase change materials - heat transfer in spiral heat exchangers; simulation
    5. Micro-impinging jet heat transfer - simulation
  • Electro-osmotic dewatering
  • Micro-scale heat transfer in complex channels, explosive boiling at micro-scale
