Dr. Mingchuan Li | Thermal Science and Technology | Research Excellence Award

China University of Petroleum | China

Dr. Mingchuan Li is a researcher in energy and environmental engineering with a strong focus on mathematical modeling of natural gas hydrate dissociation and heat–mass transfer processes. His scholarly output comprises 10 published documents, which have received 85 citations from 70 citing documents, resulting in an h-index of 5, indicating steady research impact within this specialized field. His work emphasizes analytical and radial mathematical models that incorporate moving Stefan boundaries to describe hot-water and heat-induced dissociation mechanisms of gas hydrates. These models contribute to improved understanding of hydrate behavior under thermal stimulation, with relevance to energy recovery, flow assurance, and hydrate management. His publications appear in recognized international journals and conference proceedings, including Energy and engineering conference series, addressing kinetics, dissociation fronts, and coupled heat–mass transfer phenomena. Overall, his research advances theoretical frameworks for hydrate dissociation processes and supports the development of more accurate predictive tools for energy and environmental applications.
