IRES: U.S.-China Collaboration on Fluid and Thermal Transport in Fuel Cells

0853572王标题：IRES：美国-中国合作研究燃料电池中的流体和热传输这个国际学生研究经验（IRES）项目是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。 该奖项授予密歇根州罗切斯特奥克兰大学机械工程系的Xia Wang教授。 参与的美国研究生和本科生将与中国北京交通大学动力工程系的研究人员合作，该系建立了最先进的燃料电池测试设施，以研究燃料电池的动态行为。 他们在这所大学的外国合作者是李佳教授。 学生？研究将集中在与燃料电池相关的问题上，这些问题对美国的能源消耗和相关的国家安全问题有直接影响。他们将特别强调燃料电池的热和水管理的关键问题。 学生将被介绍给当前的问题，潜在的解决方案，现代数值和实验方法，并将有机会在密切耦合的指导下探索。 他们还将接受中国语言和文化培训。参观工业和历史遗址也是计划活动的一部分。 学生将有期望和机会为正在进行的研究项目做出贡献。 他们的项目结果将提供对燃料电池中热和流体传输的基本理解，并为当前的能源和环境问题做出积极贡献。 这些结果将在会议上和通过同行评审的期刊文章传播。 该计划的活动将被放置在专门的网站上，并提供给广大社区。 该项目的主要重点是让美国学生与国际学生和教师一起参与有意义的项目。 学生将与具有不同科学背景的研究人员密切合作，并将学习现场和实验室技术，这将提高他们的研究技能。 总之，这些经验将增加学生参与者的网络和国际竞争力。 通过有意为第一代，少数民族和女学生创造机会，研究计划将对地质教育和研究产生广泛的影响。

0853572WangTitle: IRES: U.S.-China Collaboration on Fluid and Thermal Transport in Fuel CellsThis International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The award is made to Professor Xia Wang in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. The participating U.S. graduate and undergraduate students will collaborate with researchers in the Department of Power Engineering at Beijing Jiaotong University in China which has built a state-of-the-art fuel cell testing facility to study the dynamic behavior of fuel cells. Their foreign collaborator at the University is Professor Li Jia. The students? research will focus on fuel cell-related problems that have a direct impact on U.S. energy consumption and related national security issues. Their particular emphasis will be on the critical issues of the thermal and water management of fuel cells. Students will be introduced to current problems, potential solutions, modern numerical and experimental methods, and will be given the opportunities to explore under a close-coupled mentorship. They will also receive Chinese language and culture training. Visiting industrial and historic sites are also part of the planned activities. The students will have expectations and opportunities to contribute to on-going research programs. Results of their projects will provide a fundamental understanding of the thermal and fluid transport in fuel cells and contribute positively to current energy and environmental issues. These results will be disseminated in conferences and through peer-reviewed journal articles. The program activities will be placed on dedicated websites and made available to the community at large. A major emphasis of the project is to engage U.S. students in meaningful projects with international students and faculty. Students will work closely with researchers with different scientific backgrounds and will learn field and laboratory techniques that will enhance their research skills. Altogether, these experiences will increase the networking and international competitiveness of the student participants. By intentionally creating opportunities for first-generation, minority, and female students, the research program will have broad impacts on geological education and research.
