About

International Joint Laboratory on Low-Carbon and New-Energy Nexus Research and Development, established in 2022 within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kocaeli University, operates in various engineering disciplines including fluid mechanics and heat transfer, focusing primarily on thermal energy storage techniques and applications, energy efficiency in buildings, heating and cooling applications in buildings, nano-fluid technologies, and cooling of heat transfer and electronic components and electric motors. The laboratory consists of a total of five researchers including Prof. Dr. Müslüm ARICI, Prof. Dr. Hasan KARABAY, Res. Asst. Çağatay YILDIZ, Res. Asst. Ekrem TUNÇBİLEK, and Res. Asst. Murat Can ÖNEN. The researchers in the laboratory have numerous academic articles published in journals listed in the Science Citation Index under Q1 and Q2 quarters, as well as various academic and industry collaboration projects involving numerical and experimental research.

The research group conducts numerical studies using computer programming tools and CFD software such as FORTRAN, EnergyPlus, MATLAB, and ANSYS Fluent. In this context, two Dell Precision 7895 workstations are also available within the laboratory.
