He started his talk by showing the location of Kumamoto, Japan in the world map and how far it is from India. He gave a brief history of Japan and specifically about Kumamoto University and the legends bo from this university. He also told about the recent earthquake which struck Japan and how inteational news channels like CNN, BBC gave wrong information about the whole of Kumamoto city being destroyed in earthquake, but in reality only a small town outside of Kumamoto was affected by the earthquake.

Later in the talk Prof. Shuichi Torii described what exactly a Nano-Fluid is. He stated that it’s a fluid with particles less than 100nm in diameter suspended in a conventional fluid like water, engine oil or any other fluid etc. Then he continued by showing a brief history of all the research works done on Nanofluids. He stated that the research on Nano-Fluids is particularly recent i.e. around after 1980s. All the research being done is on Convective Heat Transfer on laminar flow of Nanofluids. They see the thermal conductivity of the Nano-Fluids against the concentration of Nanofluids. Generally, the Nano-fluids include agglomeration of Alumina or Graphene or Carbon Nanotubes in traditional fluids. He even told about Nano Fluid technology and its Current Status and Future Research scope. Prof. Shuichi Torii stressed that in Industries, turbulent flow is of higher importance than laminar flow. Therefore his research is about Thermal Conductivity of Nano-Fluids in turbulent flow. He shows the compounding of Nano Particles of Cu and Al2O3 with water. He showed the thermal conductivity and normalised conductivity against the concentration of the Nanoparticles. His research is being done in the Shockwave and condensed matter research centre of Kumamoto University. Here he uses dynamite to make Nano-particles of diamond using detonation and shock application. It’s a low cost and easy process of producing Nano-Diamonds. His research of nano-fluid is water + Nano-Diamonds. He also showed the Zeta potential of Nano- Diamonds in fluid.

His future vision is in cooling systems by the usage of Nanofluids as coolants where higher performance and lower size can be achieved. He ends the talk on a positive note on the Main Research topics on the Enhancement of nano-fluids, Heat transfer performance, Aggregate Nano-Particles and how to separate them.
