James K Carson

The main theme of James' research is the application of heat transfer and thermodynamic analysis to practical problems, most commonly related to refrigeration. Early on in his research career most of his research outputs were related to thermal properties measurement and modelling and thermal process modelling, with applications mainly related to food refrigeration. More recently he has focused more on improving the performance of vapour compression cycles as part of the Ahuora programme https://eng.waikato.ac.nz/research/energy.
