3. Advanced Heat Exchanger Technology
　　MEL runs several projects aimed at improving energy conservation and developing advanced thermal engineering technology. The projects include work on the thermoacoustic effect and its application to cryogenic engineering, optimization of the thermal condition during growth of single crystal silicon for photovoltaic cell substrates, and work on active enhancement methods of heat transfer using electric fields.
　　The work also covers several topics related to the Eco-energy City Project, which is part of the New Sunshine Program, including: research aimed at enhancing microscopic transport phenomena with the aim of producing improved low temperature catalytic reactions in liquids, investigations of flow system fouling mechanisms and fouling prevention using magnetic fields, development of advanced thermal cycles for heat transfer media which have little influence on the global environment, research on drag reduction mechanisms and their application to advanced heat exchangers for heat transportation, studies of flowing ice and methods for low temperature heat storage using microscale electro-hydrodynamic phenomena and optimization of Broad Area Energy Utilization Networks.
