Division of Refrigeration and Heat Pumps
Supervisor: Bartosz Zajączkowski, PhD DSc, Assoc. Prof.
Description: Her scientific interest is in pool boiling under thermodynamic conditions close to the triple point occurring on a single tube and on a bundle. In her research, she plans to fill the knowledge gap on low-pressure boiling on tubes, outline boiling regimes for different operating conditions, and lead to heat transfer coefficient correlations corresponding to the acquired data.
