Energy Conversion Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies energy conversion, investigating the movement of heat and matter inside fuel cells and secondary batteries.
AboutAbout the lab
Energy conversion in harmony with the environment
The Energy Conversion Systems Lab studies energy conversion technologies for a society in harmony with the environment, as well as ideal social energy systems.
The lab aims to solve the crises that humanity faces: the depletion of energy resources and rapid changes in the global environment.
Building on thermal engineering in mechanical engineering, especially heat transfer engineering, the lab deals with the conversion, storage, and use of energy.
The lab seminar consists of a journal club, where members introduce papers, and a monthly progress report meeting, among other activities. The lab has no core hours.
Key terms
- Heat transfer engineering
- A field of engineering that studies how heat is conducted and carried, and applies it to the design of machines and equipment
- Fuel cell
- A device that reacts hydrogen with oxygen, for example, to extract electricity directly without burning anything
- Redox flow battery
- A battery that holds electricity-storing liquids in tanks and charges and discharges while pumping them through
ResearchResearch themes
The lab carries out research in three areas: fuel cells; secondary batteries and energy storage and conversion systems; and energy and environmental systems. Its work includes heat and mass transfer inside fuel cells, performance improvement of redox flow batteries and lithium-air batteries, and the use of renewable energy in Hokkaido.
