Experience
Post-Doctoral Researcher06/2014 to CurrentUlBangalore , IN
- Experimentally designed and investigated transient migration/elutriation characteristics of fine powder through a packed bed of larger-sized particles.
Visiting Scholar01/2014 to 06/2014Congressional Budget OfficeWashington , DC
- Experimentally designed and optimized fine powder mixing with larger particles in a moving packed bed as part of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) system.
- Experimentally designed and achieved co-current gas-solid flow with zone seal in a solid moving bed circulated by L-valve.
Research Assistant/Teaching Assistant09/2009 to 01/2014Minnesota GastroenterologyMaplewood , MN
- Proposed and built up a mechanistic model to predict non-uniform gas-solid flow structure in a riser. Introduced collision-induced controlling mechanisms for axial and radial solid transport. Achieved partial validation against available literature data.
- Proposed and established a two-zone approach for modeling of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) reaction by considering pre-cracking and vaporization in feed zone. Achieved well agreement between prediction and industrial plant data.
- Investigated condensation induced transient depressurization process in confined space both experimentally and numerically (analytical modeling and CFD). Involved to plan and design the mechanical and control system. Led to conduct experiments and validated simulation results.
- Established a three-phase interaction modeling framework for feed zone in FCC riser to predict hydrodynamic and distributive characteristics inside and downstream of feed zone. Significantly reduced FCC riser modeling gap and provided a tool for production on-line control.
- Designed and built up a multi-functional indoor air-conditioning ventilation system. Utilized a self-designed/manufactured 1:1 scale coughing simulator to experimentally investigate coughing/sneezing droplets transport and deposition in indoor space at various ventilation conditions.
- Experimentally studied collision statistics (e.g., collision probability, liquid attachment distribution) between liquid spray droplets and free-fall particles. Proposed the modified Gaussian distribution with two parameters for collision probability density function.
- Experimentally and numerically analyzed and evaluated the drag and lift force over an object with complex geometry (e.g., helicopter) at various flow conditions. Achieved agreement on both approaches in lab- and full-scale.
Research Assistant09/2006 to 07/2009Tsinghua UniversityCity
- Teamed up on design and optimization of industrial scale cooling tower via CFD (UDF) simulation. Achieved overall higher efficiency by increasing heat transfer rate and contacting time.
- Designed and optimized various types of centrifugal fans (industrial and household scale) via both CFD simulation and experimental tests. Fulfilled the requirements on pressure head and flow rate with optimized efficiency.
