Current Research Topics

Our research subjects are aimed at the evaluation of the performance of chemical equipment from a viewpoint of fluid engineering. The following is the topics of the recent research.

  • Flow characteristics in a hollow-fiber membrane module for plasma separation
  • Influence of shell side flow characteristics on the performance of a hollow-fiber membrane type dialyser
  • Back flush operation of a hollow-fiber ultrafiltration module in bio-process.
  • Characteristics of chaotic velocity fluctuation in the discharge floe region of stirred vessel.
  • Flow characteristics of pulp suspension in a circular pipe
