Springer Proceedings of International Conference on Thermofluids: KIIT Thermo 2020 (Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering)

This book presents selected and peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Thermofluids (KIIT Thermo 2020). It focuses on the latest studies and findings in the areas of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and combustion. Some of the topics covered in the book include electronic cooling, HVAC system analysis, inverse heat transfer, combustion, nano-fluids, multiphase flow, high-speed flow, and shock waves. The book includes both experimental and numerical studies along with a few review chapters from experienced researchers, and is expected to lead to new research in this important area. This book is of interest to students, researchers as well as practitioners working in the areas of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and combustion.  From the Back Cover This book presents selected and peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Thermofluids (KIIT Thermo 2020).

He received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Karnatak University, India, and M.Eng. in Nuclear Engineering from McMaster University, Canada. He has worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and at the Nuclear Engineering Department, University of California, Berkeley, from 1984 to 1987. Then, in August 1987, he joined the School of Nuclear Engineering as a Visiting Assistant Professor. Since then, he has been serving SNE, currently as a Professor. He also serves as BK21 Plus Visiting Professor in the Division of Advanced Nuclear Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), South Korea. Dr. Revankar has published over 375 peer-reviewed technical articles in archival scientific journals and conference proceedings and author/co-author of three recent books: Advances in Nuclear Fuels, InTech publisher 2012, Fuel Cells-Principles, Design, and Analysis, CRC Press 2014, and Storage and Hybridization of Nuclear Energy: Techno-economic Integration of Renewable and Nuclear Energy, Academic Press, recently published in November 2018.  He has chaired 25 M.S. thesis, and 12 Ph.D. thesis and has served on 90 M.S. and Ph.D. thesis committees.  He has mentored over 35 Visiting Scholars and Postdoctoral Researchers. He has presented over 110 invited seminars. Dr. Revankar has served as research and educational Consultant to academia, national laboratories and industries in Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, South Korea, and USA.  He is Chief Editor of Frontier in Energy – Nuclear Energy – and Chief Editor of the International Journal of Magnetism & Nuclear Science. He is also on editorial boards of other six international journals including Heat Transfer Engineering, Journal of Thermodynamics, Nuclear Engineering and Technology, and has served as Guest Editor for Nuclear Engineering and Design. Dr. Revankar is a Life Member of American Nuclear Society (ANS), American Society of Mechanical Engineer (ASME), American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Korean Nuclear Society, (KNS), and Indian Society for Heat and Mass Transfer (ISHMT). He is also a Member of American Society
