Heat Transfer Research at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University
Heat transfer addresses the transport of energy due to conduction, convection and radiation and impacts nearly every area of industrial practice, including aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, chemical and materials processing, electronics, energy and environmental engineering, combustion, materials and manufacturing, and many others. Heat transfer research focuses on understanding, measuring and simulating thermal phenomena, exploiting these phenomena to design and manufacture efficient devices and systems and limiting the deleterious effects of high or low temperatures on system performance.
