Because of the fossil fuel limitation and environmental protection, the Laboratory of Thermal Energy Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering under the direction of Professor Fukai is dedicated particularly to the studies in energy conservasion for the purpose of a better life in the future.

  The research in the laboratory is focused on thermal energy storage, heat recovery system, heat transfer enhancement and coal/biomass utilization. The research area also covers transport phenomena in droplet and thin film formation.

   We welcome international students for Undergraduate and Graduate Programs in the research area.
