Dr. Ying Sun is currently an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Complex Fluids and Multiphase Transport Lab at Drexel University in the USA. She obtained her B.Eng. degree from Thermal Engineering at Tsinghua University, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees both from University of Iowa. Dr. Sun was a visiting scholar at RWTH-Aachen, a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, and an Air Force Summer Faculty Fellow. Her research interests include multiphase flows and heat/mass transport, multiscale modeling of transport phenomena in energy systems, wetting and interfacial phenomena, and scalable nanomanufacturing. Dr. Sun’slab is funded by the US National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Air Force Office of Research, Electrical Power Research Institute, Ben Franklin Technology Partners, Petroleum Research Fund, and industry.

报告摘要：

The Complex Fluids and Multiphase Transport Lab at Drexel University focuses on applying fundamental thermo-fluid sciences to advance energy conversion and storage systems, and to enable scalable additive nanomanufacturing. In this talk, I will summarize our combined modeling and experimental efforts in examining transport processes in multiphase systems with fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, phase change, and pattern formation. Examples in nanostructure-enhanced two-phase heat transfer, alternative dry cooling of power plants, and capillary-driven assembly of inkjet-printed colloidal drops will be discussed, aiming to discover new physical insights to previously little-known thermo-fluid behaviors and to enable novel material designs for more efficient energy solutions.
