Jacobi Elected ASHRAE Fellow

Professor Anthony Jacobi

Professor Anthony Jacobi has been elected a Fellow in the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The MechSE professor has made numerous technical contributions in air-side heat transfer, condensate and frost management. His innovative designs for experimental facilities and his careful measurements have provided new models to predict heat and mass transfer, while his definitive multi-year studies have defined the state of the art in flat multiport (multichannel) tube heat exchangers. Jacobi helped pioneer the analysis of evaporation phenomena in small-diameter channels, and his work on falling film heat exchangers has spanned more than a decade. His leadership cultivated teamwork, organization and student/faculty participation in the ACRC, a research center that meets the needs of approximately 30 sponsoring companies.
