Interfacial Meta-Fluidics

Research Project Outline

Heat and mass transfer at solid-gas-liquid interface, such as evaporation, condensation and adsorption, strongly influences the performance of various energy systems. The present study proposes a new scientific discipline "Meta-Fluidics" pursuing transcendence of conventional performance of the systems by making use of nanostructures of interface. Optimum design of complex nanosturucture with the aid of knowledge from the meta-fluidics will be capable of creating innovative high-efficiency heat/mass transfer surfaces, which goes beyond the conventional macroscale measure of interface characteristics.
