Kee's research efforts are primarily in the modeling and simulation
of thermal and chemically reacting flow processes, with applications
to combustion and materials manufacturing. His combustion research
emphasizes the use of elementary chemical kinetics to understand
fundamental flame structure and emissions. Current research
includes efforts on catalytic combustion and water-mist flame
suppression. The materials-processing efforts emphasize the
design, optimization, and control of chemical-vapor-deposition
reactors, with specific applications ranging from solar cells
to CMOS semiconductor devices. A great deal of current research
concerns the reacting flow and electrochemistry associated with
solid-oxide fuel-cell systems using hydrocarbon fuel streams.
The work includes development of numerical methods and software
to solve systems of stiff differential equations. It also includes
development of an extensive system of general purpose chemical
kinetics and molecular transport software. This software, generally
known as CHEMKIN, is currently used in hundreds of industrial
and research establishments worldwide for a wide range of chemical
applications. |
