Location:: Microsoft Teams
Description: In this lecture, novel or smart methods of heat transfer enhancements, such as phase change, microchannels, nanofluids, and nature inspired technologies, etc., will be reviewed and introduced; the recent advances in research of heat transfer enhancement & relevant technological development for industrial thermal managements will be presented and discussed.

Date: 28/04/2021 (14:00-15:00)
Location:: Microsoft Teams
Description: Engineering seminar with guest speaker, Dr Jason Stafford from the University of Birmingham. In this talk, Jason will discuss recent work combining experiments, numerics, and materials characterisation, to explore three different areas where fluid dynamic interactions between liquids, gases and micro- and nano-scale particles play a central role. This is a part of the FLUTE Research Group Seminar Series at the University of Nottingham.

Date: 19/05/2021 (14:00-15:00)
Location:: Microsoft Teams
Description: The FLUTE Research Group at the University of Nottingham are hosting a seminar from guest speaker Dr Beatrice Pulvirenti from University of Bologna, Italy. In this talk, different engineering applications of porous structures will be explored, with a focus on some numerical approaches for the simulation of the energy and mass exchange through the pores. These applications are studied by the thermal and fluid-dynamics (TFD) research group at Bologna University, Department of Industrial Engineering.
