Guobiao Gu

Biography

Projects:Now Prof. Gu is undertaking "the eleventh five-year plan" national technical department support project - 700MW evaporative cooling water hydro-generator of Three Gorges’ underground workshop and other vertically and horizontally scientific research projects. Main Achievements:1. Innovative research and development of new evaporative cooling technology for large-scale hydro-generator. 2. Innovative research and development of evaporative cooling technology for turbo-generator. 3. Prof. Gu introduced evaporative cooling technology on other electrical equipment. 4. Prof. Gu joined two phase boiling heat transfer discipline with electrical discipline (electrical machinery, electrical apparatus, power electronics, high voltage technology) and developed new interdisciplinary.

Research Interest

Prof. Gu has been engaging in the development of the new evaporative cooling technology of large generator for a long term. The evaporative cooling technology in normal temperature (60 ℃ about) was independently innovated and the self circulating evaporative cooling system without pump has been applied in hydro-generators. He has researched the heat transfer characteristics of all kinds of coolant in the condition of two-phase boiling、the physical and chemical characteristic and electric insulation characteristic. He has combined the subject of generator with that of the heat transfer in boiling two-phase fluid and a cross subject design theory system has been shaped.
