Project Grant 2137301

Brigham Young University received a $149,977 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems on August 1, 2021 to support research efforts concluding on July 31, 2022. The grant funds research under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) for "EAGER: PARALLELIZED MEASUREMENTS OF KAPITZA RESISTANCE" to improve understanding of heat transfer at interfaces through experimental measurements. The NSF Engineering program aims to foster innovation and excellence in engineering research and education to benefit the Nation's economic strength. This award will allow BYU researchers to advance knowledge of thermal transport phenomena through parallelized experiments measuring Kapitza resistance, defined as thermal boundary resistance, at material interfaces.
