The HMT@MN group focuses on microscale and nanoscale heat transfer, moving contact line of thin films, PM 2.5 transport and elimination and fundamental biosciences of cryobiology. we have developed a nanoscopic testing approach for the wetting theories; our work in bioheat has generated a fundamental understanding of the biophysical mechanisms behind IIF. Besides, the group is also recognized as a pioneer in developing low-cost mechanical PM2.5 precipitator. We have invented a new type of mechanical precipitator with high removal efficiency (>98%), low pressure drop (<300 Pa) and effectivity for fine particles (down to 0.5 μm).
The purpose of HMT@MN is to establish a interdisciplinary micro/nano-scale research platform that can cultivate inspiration in discovery sciences, find the real-world solutions to the air polution caused by PM 2.5, establish the fundamental heat/mass transfer or interfacial mechanism at the micro/nanoscale level, and generate health and wealth for the global world.
The HMT@MN researches are:
Solve the experimental bottleneck of moving contact line problem: Experimentally identify the sub-macroscopic interface topography and its dynamic characteristics and generate a fundamental understanding about nanoscopic contact angels and their velocity dependency. CFD and MD calculations will be conducted to establish a new fundamental mechanism of moving contact line.
Develope a grid-independent collision algorism to predict particle aggregation stochastically where the calculation cost is only 1% of the popular O’Rourke method. Based on simulations, a low-cost mechanical PM2.5 precipitator with high removal efficiency will be designed and test. This inspiring technique is expected to be commercialized and practically applied in dust removal before denitration in Power Plant.
Investigate the relationships between IIF and the cell membrane and generate a fundamental understanding of the biophysical mechanisms behind IIF. Comprehensive observation of cell freezing process including the location of the initiation site, the growth rate and the ice dendrite morphology have been achieved and the relationship between IIF and cell membrane integrity is well understood.
