Heat
Transfer, Combustion, and Energy Systems
Background
Dr. Jeter’s past research background includes
systems and theoretical thermo-dynamics (from 1976 to 1990), and heat and
mass transfer, thermal and fluid energy systems, engineering education,
and advanced engineering thermodynamics (from 1990 to the present).
Research
Dr.
Jeter’s research interests include both basic and applied research. His
basic research is focused on two-phase heat and mass transfer, such as the
experimental investigation of heat transfer to boiling liquids, whereas
his theoretical basic research includes work on the thermodynamics of mixtures
and radiation. Dr. Jeter’s applied research is largely devoted to improving
the performance of existing energy systems and developing innovative energy
systems, particularly fluid and thermal energy systems.
