报告人介绍：

      Prof. Ben Xu graduated with a BS of Thermal Energy and Power Engineering in Wuhan University in 2007, a MS of Fluid Mechanics in Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2010, and a Ph.D. of Mechanical Engineering in University of Arizona in August, 2015. In September 2016, Prof. Xu joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) as an Associate Professor. Prof. Xu has already published more than 30 peer-revised journal papers (SCI indexed). He was the PI for a USDA funded Energy Efficiency project ($93,000), and he was the key personnel for a US NSF-MRI funded project ($230,000). Prof. Xu is also serving as the Committee Secretary in the technical committee of Renewable Energy and Energy Conversion (REEC) in ASME Advanced Energy System Division.

报告简介：

     Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is of great significance for modern society due to the large scale civilization and industrialization in the past decades. This has led to a considerably growing attention in convention and renewable energy systems. Multiphase flow and heat transfer in these energy systems play a significant role to the system performance, such as the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system in Concentrated Solar Power plants, the cooling system in power plants, and the desalinating of seawater and brackish water in thermal-driven desalination plants. In this presentation, we will discuss the aforementioned three topics and show how the system performance can be enhanced through multiphase flow and heat transfer analysis.
