Jordan Kocher's research focuses on the thermodynamics and techno-economics of various energy systems, from air conditioning to desalination. His main research focus at NLR is to improve the exergetic efficiency of dehumidification and refrigeration, while reducing costs. To achieve this, Kocher is exploring the thermodynamic and transport properties of water vapor in membranes, liquid desiccants, and evaporative coolers. His research also includes the quantification of the cost per unit exergy of various commodities and energy sources, including liquid water, which is both a commodity (e.g., for drinking and agriculture) and an energy source (e.g., for evaporative cooling).
