1980- 1982 went to the heat transfer laboratory in department of mechanical engineering, University of Minnesota, USA, and studied under Professor E·M· Sparrow.
From 65438 to 0983, based on the experience of studying in the United States, Tao Wenquan built the Thermal Engineering Laboratory into the first laboratory of Xi Jiaotong University, which was open to graduate students all day. 1986 Tao Wenquan was hired as a full-time professor at Xi Jiaotong University.
Numerical Heat Transfer 65438-0987, edited by Tao Wenquan, has been cited for more than 6000 times in domestic and foreign periodical papers.
From 65438 to 0989, the teaching and research section of thermal energy engineering of An Jiaotong University won the first national excellent teaching achievement award for "determined to reform and comprehensively improve the teaching quality of thermal energy engineering course", with,, Wu and Wang as winners.
From 65438 to 0996, Tao Wenquan became the chairman of the Teaching Steering Committee of Thermal Engineering Course of the Ministry of Education, and began to organize efforts to build a national examination database for thermal engineering courses. In the same year, Xi Jiaotong University took the lead in undertaking the educational reform project of "Research and Practice of Teaching Content and System Reform of Thermal Engineering Series Courses" in the 2nd/10th century of the Ministry of Education, with Tao Wenquan as the general manager. With the participation of nine schools in China, a nationwide research activity on teaching reform of thermal engineering course has begun.
Since 1997, he has served as a visiting professor or scholar in Kyushu University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hong Kong Polytechnic University for many times, teaching computational heat transfer to graduate students.
In 2000, under the leadership of Tao Wenquan, he undertook the World Bank loan project "Research and Practice of Training Program Reform of Energy and Electric Power Talents".
In 200 1 year, the thermal engineering course project hosted by Tao Wenquan won the national teaching achievement 1 award, and the textbook "Heat Transfer" won the second prize of the national teaching achievement.
In 2004, the project "Research on Numerical Prediction Principle and Efficient Algorithm of Heat Transfer and Flow Process" led by Professor Tao Wenquan won the second prize of National Natural Science in. In 2005, he was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences; President of Xi Jiaotong University since 2006.
In 2007, Academician Tao Wenquan led the first International Conference on Computational Heat Transfer and Computational Fluids in Asia (ASCHT2007), which was held every two years to promote the development of science and technology in Asia and promote cooperation and exchanges between peers and scholars.
On April 20 13, accompanied by Professor Chen Yidong from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA, he visited the energy and heat flow science projects of Taiwan Province Provincial University, National Taipei University of Technology, Hsinchu Tsinghua University, Hsinchu Jiaotong University, Taichung Feng Jia University and six Taiwan Province Provincial Universities in national cheng kung university, Tainan, and visited some laboratories for academic exchange. 10 10/2 1 day, on the occasion of academician's 75th birthday, Jiaotong University Education Fund initiated and donated by Mr. Tao's disciples and related enterprises was established, with scholarships and scholarships.
On May 9, 20 14, Tao Wenquan was hired as a distinguished academician by Jiangsu University. On September 10, Xi Jiaotong University celebrated its 30th Teacher's Day, and Tao Wenquan won the "First Lifetime Achievement Award of Xi Jiaotong University". 20 14 The authoritative international heat transfer magazine International Heat and Mass Transfer, Volume 70, No.2, published a special article to congratulate Professor Tao Wenquan on his 75th birthday.
