Welcome to the Thermodynamics and Kinetics Laboratory
The TKL is a Research Unit
within the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at the University
of Toronto
Director: Dr. C. A. Ward
Areas of Research
A new theory of kinetics
has been developed from quantum and statistical mechanics. It is being used
to study:
- The kinetics of evaporation
and condensation.
- The effect of adsorption
on wetting phenomena in systems subjected to negligible gravity.
- Crystal growth under
microgravity conditions.
- A mobile, light-weight
DC power supply consisting of a fuel cell and hydrogen storage system.
