Created in 2013, the research mission of Nest-n (Nano and Microscale Heat Transfer Lab) is to advance science and understanding of the physical mechanisms involved in the heat transfer process with phase change, two-phase flow and develop techniques and high-performance devices for a diverse class of functional applications, including low-cost technologies for harnessing solar energy.
Our research is strongly motivated by applications that influence society, but it operates with the understanding that a solid foundation in fundamental science allows advances in engineering.
Our goal is to study different techniques for intensifying heat transfer in thermal processes, showing the effect of liquid-surface interaction on the phenomenon. The experimental, theoretical, and numerical approaches are developed in a complementary way.
