Heat Transfer Lab
My area of interest broadly encompasses engineering applications involving macro-scale multi-phase multi-component systems. Understanding transport phenomena of
mass, momentum, energy and species is crucial to describe phase-change dynamics as well as micro/macro structure of phases. The focus of our research
is on developing theoretical and numerical models to predict solidification dynamics and micro-structure that goes hand-in-hand with experimental studies
to validate model predictions. The applications include manufacturing processes such as casting and welding, thermal energy storage, cyclic cooling device and thermal comfort in buildings and apparels.
In particular, my current research topics are as follows,
Latent heat based storage device for moderate and high temperature applications
Alloy solidification process
Vapor adsorption refrigeration systems
Electronic cooling
Rapid cooling with flash evaporation process
PCM based cool and warm vest for extreme climatic conditions
