Author Biography
Liang-Shih Fan, The Ohio State University
L.S . Fan is Distingui shed University Professor and Chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Ohio State University. His expertise is in fluidization and multiphase flow, powder technology, and particulates reaction engineering. Professor Fan is the U.S. editor of Powder Technology and a consulting editor of the A!ChE Journal and the International Journal of Multiphase Flow. He has also authored or co-authored three books, including the textbook Principles of Gas-Solid Flows (with Chao Zhu; Cambridge University Press, 1998), in addition to 240 journal articles and book chapters, and has edited nine symposium volumes.
Professor Fan is the principal inventor (with R. Agnihotri) of a patented process, "OSCAR," for flue gas cleaning in coal combustion and is the Project Director for the OSCAR commercial demonstration, funded at $8.5 million as Ohio Clean Coal Technology, currently taking place at Ohio McCracken power plant on the Ohio State University campus.
