Research

From new viewpoint based on fluid dynamics, by using new measurement methods and analysis methods, a very wide range of research in chemical engineering field has been done.

  • Transport phenomena in turbulent flow field and scale-up of chemical equipment.
  • mixing phenomena of liquid-liquid system and gas-liquid system in a reactor.
  • Blood flow.
  • Rheology measurement method by using vacuum cylinder.
  • Three-dimensional velocity meter based on electrode reaction controlled by mass transfer rate.
  • Mixedness and separation efficiency, turbulent flow mechanism, particle size distribution, expression of the degree of anxiety/expectation from the viewpoint of information entropy.

Reward

1992 Tejima Invention Award (Measurement method and equipment to measure blood and general liquid viscosity)

1994 Research Award of the Society of Chemical Engineers Japan (Usefulness of information entropy in chemical engineering)

1994 Masao Saneyoshi Award of the Society of Chemical Engineers Japan (Usefulness of information entropy in chemical engineering)

1999 Honorary doctor(Lappeenrant University of Technology)

2007 Paper Award of 2006 (Correlation equation of particle collision frequency with impeller in a stirred tank)
