Biography

Heqing Tian is an Associate Professor in School of Mechanical and Power Engineering at Zhengzhou University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Thermal Flow Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University in 2017. Since the beginning of 2018, he has joined the Zhengzhou University, China. Heqing Tian has been developing and applying the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and deep potential molecular dynamics (DPMD) to investigate the structural evolution and thermal properties in the complex inorganic salts phase change materials, which aims to resolve the fundamental questions and provide designing principles for their energy storage and conversion applications. In recent years, a surge in demand for renewable energy has led to a need for improved high temperature thermal energy storage. Molten inorganic salts, with high stability and energy storage potential, have emerged as a leading option. Since the second half of 2019, Heqing Tian has begun to establish his own research group. According to the dependence of material properties on microstructure, he developed and designed kinds of novel multiple inorganic salts phase change heat storage materials for solar thermal power plant systems and metallurgical systems. In addition, he also studied the melting and solidification processes of multiple inorganic salts phase change materials in containers of different shapes, as well as methods for enhancing the thermal properties of multiple inorganic salts phase change materials.
