研究室紹介
Professor Moo Hwan Kim's research lab specializes in advanced thermal fluid dynamics and heat transfer, with a primary focus on critical heat flux (CHF) enhancement on structured surfaces. The lab investigates the underlying mechanisms of boiling heat transfer using cutting-edge synchrotron X-ray imaging techniques to visualize complex interfacial phenomena in real time. Their work aims to improve the safety and efficiency of thermal systems in applications ranging from nuclear reactors to electronic cooling. The lab also explores surface engineering and micro/nano-structured surfaces to optimize heat transfer performance.

15A study of nucleate boiling phenomena on nano/microstructures is a very basic and useful study with a view to the potential application of modified surfaces as heating surfaces in a number of fields. We present a detailed study of boiling experiments on fabricated nano/microstructured surfaces used as heating surfaces under atmospheric conditions, employing identical nanostructures with two different wettabilities (silicon-oxidized and Teflon-coated). Consequently, enhancements of both boiling h
Over the last several decades, phenomena related to critical heat flux (CHF) on structured surfaces have received a large amount of attention from the research community. The purpose of such research has been to enhance the safety and efficiency of a variety of thermal systems. A number of theories have been put forward to explain the key CHF enhancement mechanisms on structured surfaces. However, these theories have not been confirmed experimentally because of limitations in the available visua
