Jia Zhigang

I have been using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to analyze flow, heat and mass transfer and chemical reactions in chemical equipment since 2002. The process and performance of chemical equipment were predicted and optimized based on the numerical results.

·       My research interests are listed as follows.

Sc 1.Scale-up and optimization of chemical reactors.

·        2. Development of ultra-low NOx burners.

·       3. Numerical simulation of heating furnaces for energy conservation and emission reduction.

·       4.  Enhancement of heat transfer.

·       5. Catalytic combustion and its applications.

·       Jun 2002 - Dec 2002, Numerical simulation and scale-up of 98m³ stirred- tank reactor.

·       Jan 2003 – Jul 2003, Optimization of flow pattern in a 12m³ polymerization reactor.

·       Jan 2005 – Dec 2009, Numerical simulation of a KTI  ethylene cracking furnace with a 60kt/ capacity.

·       Dec 2010 – Jun 2013, Development of CFRR with a 60000m³/h capacity for abatement of VAM emission.

·       Aug 2013 -Dec 2015, Development of LNG Vaporizer with a 200t/h capacity.

·       Jan 2015 – Dec 2018, Enhancement of heat transfer for plate heat exchangers.

·       Jul 2018 – Dec 2021, Development of catalytic reactor for low concentration menthane.
