On March 09, Professor Hiroshi Yamaguchi from Department of Mechanical Engineering at Doshisha University in Japan visited College of Engineering and gave three seminars entitled “Development of super critical system and magnetic fluid; Approach with science and technology”, “Advance cooling method for LSI using magnetic fluid” and “Energy Conversion with Super-Critical CO2 in Applcation to Solar Energy” to the College of Engineering at Peking University. Professor Xinrong Zhang hosted the event.

In his talk, he introduced his research fields includes Experimental and Computational Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Engineering, Involving Basic Study and Applications for Supercritical CO2 Flow, Solar Energy Conversion, Ultra-Low-Temperature Refrigeration, Non-Newtonian and Viscoelastic fluids and Magnetic Fluids and Functional Fluid. Then, he shared the challenges he met during his work and encouraged the students to do more practice, to get more hands-on activities and to pay more attention to details.     

The students were very interested in this lecture, and discussed with Yamaguchi on many questions. They expressed this lecture would be very helpful for their future study.
