Abstract:
Research and development of nanoengineered materials has been one of the most important and exciting forefront research topics in recent years, on a broad range of scientific and industrial applications of new materials and the bottom-up synthesis of novel nano-systems. This talk will emphasize recent progress made in Nanoengineered Materials that improve energy efficiency, biofuel combustion quality, and thermomagnetic energy conversion. The talk will also cover advances in thermophysical properties and efficiency in thermal management systems, such as nanoadditive fluids for thermal management and energy conversion/storage, nano-millimeter hierarchical porous structures for two-phase change heat transfer enhancement, nanoenergetic additives for biofuel combustion quality improvement, and ferromagnetic nanoparticle thermomagnetic energy conversion. Some novel properties related to nanoscale phenomena will be presented and discussed, as well as fabrication methods.
Bio sketch:
Dr. Calvin Hong Li is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering directing the Nanoscale Interface and Phase-Change Transport Laboratory at Villanova University. Dr. Calvin Hong Li is also a faculty research scientist of the National Science Foundation I/UCRC (Industry/University Collaborative Research Center) on Energy Efficient Systems for managing data centers. Dr. Li received his Ph.D degree focusing on Nanoscale Heat Transfer with Prof. G. P. “Bud” Peterson in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (current professor and President of Georgia Institute of Technology). In July 2007, he started his faculty career as an assistant professor at the University of Toledo, Toledo OH, USA, and moved to Villanova University, Philadelphia PA, USA, in January 2011. Dr. Li has been invited to join the Center for Energy Innovation at the University of Pennsylvania as one of a handful invited experts outside of the University of Pennsylvania. (Adjunct assistant professor, http://www.energy.upenn.edu/content/calvin-li) Dr. Calvin Hong Li’s research interests are in nanoscale and ultrafast interfacial and phase-change transport phenomena, and their applications in energy, health care and controllable nano-synthesizing. Dr. Li is a recipient of deArce Memorial Foundation awards and the advisor of DOE 2010 Science and Energy Research Challenge Conference 3rd place awardees. He has been a DOE summer faculty fellow at NREL and was invited by AFRL Wright Patterson to start a two-phase change transport program in 2010. Dr. Calvin Hong Li is a technical committee member for various professional societies, has been a track/symposium organizer or session chair for numerous ASME conferences on nanotechnology and heat transfer, and a referee of many technical journals and conference manuscripts. Dr. Calvin Hong Li currently holds pending patents (or patent disclosures) and has published more than 50 books, book chapters, journal and conference papers on nanotechnology-enabled energy conversion and thermal management(over 110 times citation on his single paper published in Journal of Applied Physics 2006 according to ISI Web of Science).
