Professional Experience:
Dr. Xihao Gao is a doctoral student at North China Electric Power University specializing in optimizing heat exchangers and energy systems. His accolades include national and academic scholarships and recognition as an outstanding graduate. Dr. Gao has published two international research papers and holds one invention patent.
Research Interests:
Dr. Gao developed a novel tilt-angle algorithm integrated with electromagnetic tomography (EMT) to evaluate fluid mixing homogeneity in direct contact heat exchangers. His research incorporates nanoscale iron (Fe), iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), and iron tetraoxide (Fe₃O₄) as tracer particles, allowing precise measurement of magnetic distributions and fluid dynamics. This methodology elucidates the impact of fluid mixing homogeneity on heat exchanger efficiency, marking a significant advancement in thermal system optimization.
Contributions:
Dr. Gao introduced the concept of a temperature difference uniformity factor in direct contact heat exchangers. He also developed a method using EMT and tilt-angle algorithms to quantify fluid mixing homogeneity, directly correlating this factor to the efficiency of heat transfer processes. His innovative use of nanoscale tracers has set a new benchmark in visualizing and enhancing heat exchange systems.
