High-Temperature Physical Chemistry
Contribute to decarbonization from the viewpoint of "thermophysical properties and microstructure"
Since materials that appear at high temperatures have complex microstructures, studies are conducted from the viewpoint of "thermophysical properties × microstructure. In this laboratory, process research is conducted to utilize and control the heat generated at high temperatures, such as in steel manufacturing processes, and thermophysical property research is conducted to evaluate accurately how the generated heat is transferred. In addition, research is also expanding into the fields of aerospace.
This lab is for this SDG activity:
STUDY FIELDS
- Material Science
- Physical Chemistry
- Thermodynamics
- Solid State Physics
FOR SOCIETY
We are dealing with the challenge from a "heat" perspective to reduce carbon emissions. In particular, high-temperature steel manufacturing processes generate large amounts of heat. Therefore, technologies are needed to utilize and control the heat.
