Research Group Introduction

[1] My research is mainly focused on thermal energy and power technologies and their fundamental thermodynamic, thermophysical properties and heat transfer. I am particularly interested in developing novel energy systems using fossil fuel and technologies to utilize low-grade heat sources such as geothermal energy, solar thermal energy, industrial waste heat, and ocean thermal energy, including but not limited to the topics as follows:

[2] Ultra-supercritical power plant (system design and parametric optimization)

[3] Renewable energy utilization (geothermal, solar, and ocean thermal energy)

[4] Organic Rankine Cycle and Kalina Cycle power generation systems

[5] Thermophysical properties for new refrigerants

[6] Combined cooling, heat and power systems (cogeneration or trigeneration)
[7] Integrated energy systems
