LABORATORY OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER

(founded in 1961)

Main topics:

• Thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes and interrelated heat and mass transfer (Yu. Mikhailov, R. Ozols, 1961-1979)
• Heat and mass transfer in MHD flows (E. Blums, J. Suhovics, 1963-1980)
• Heat and mass transfer in low temperature plasma (V. Melnikov, M. Zake, J. Suhovics, 1962-1985)
• Heat and mass transfer in combustion processes, turbulence (M. Zake, J. Suhovics, since 1985)
• Magnetic fluids: properties, hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer (E. Blums, A. Cebers, M. Maiorov, A. Chukhrov, G. Kronkalns, J. Plavins, since 1970)
