We aspire to apply our knowledge of the properties of cryogenic fluids in energy and transportation sector in other fields as well. To exemplify potential areas, the use of cryogenic fluids can be beneficial to cancerous tissue treatment.
Cryosurgery uses the extreme cold produced by LN2 to destroy abnormal tissue. LN2 is applied directly to the cancer cells with a spraying device. The modelling tools developed can be of use to improve the design of such new cryosurgery spraying devices.
