Research projects

Rarefied gas dynamics and its applications

The project aims to analyze numerically and experimentally gas flows under different rarefaction conditions and verify the potential of applications and development of technological devices in this area.

Energetic analysis of refrigerated cargos

The project aims to develop models to determine the energy consumption of refrigeration systems used in refrigerated cargoes employed for perishable products and identify the most important design parameters, proposing design changes to minimize energy consumption.
