Current Research Topics

Our research subjects are to investigate the application possibilities of "plasma" as a fundamental technology. Industries have developed and created many products by utilizing solid phase, liquid phase and gas phase appropriately. In the 4th phase "plasma" which is in higher energy state, there exist various characteristics which do not appear in other normal phases and we can expect their potentials for new technologies. And also there exist many unknown physical phenomena, which rouse our interests as the basic research. In the fission and fusion technology new methods are required strongly to process fuels and materials with high efficiency. We desire to study extensively about the application possibilities of plasma in the fields of chemical engineering and nuclear engineering. The followings are our major activities.

  • Studies on isotope separation by using disharging plasma.
  • Studies on waste processing by microwave heated plasma.
  • Studies on numerical analysis of complicated flow system accompanied with heat-mass transfer and chemical reactions.
