First, the character introduction:

Chen Daxie, born in Wuyuan Town, Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province, is the pioneer of thermal energy engineering in China. He is the author of Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics. It has made important contributions to the development of thermal engineering in China.

He graduated from Jiaotong University in his early years and obtained a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University in the United States. /kloc-returned to China in 0/7, and served as an associate professor of Zhejiang University, a professor of Central University and a professor of Jiaotong University.

1982 An Jiaotong University established the Chen Daxie Scholarship, which is the first scholarship named after a person. 1994 In recognition of Mr. Chen's outstanding contribution, the Thermal Laboratory was named Chen Daxie Thermal Laboratory, and there are only two similar names in the whole school.
