Cooling Technologies for Machining Applications

Dr. Brusly Solomon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS), Coimbatore. He joined as Research Associate in the Dean Research office of the KITS in the year 2006. His research focuses on the development of phase change cooling devices such as heat pipes and thermosyphons and vapor chambers with nanofluids and various wick materials. He pursued his Post-doctoral research in the Thermo fluids Research Laboratory of Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, University of Pretoria. He is recipient of Govt. of India, Young Scientist Award 2015 by Science and Engineering Research board, Young Achievers Award 2015 by Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, UP postdoctoral fellowship 2015 by University of Pretoria. His research interests include Phase change heat transfer, electronic cooling with heat pipes, natural convection heat transfer and Magnetic nanofluids. Currently, he is reviewer of many technical journals from Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, Tailor and Francis and many other Publications. Mohsen Sharifpur is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa. He is the establisher and Head of Nanofluid Research Laboratory. His research includes mathematical modelling, thermal fluid behaviour and stability of nanofluids, improvement of heat transfer by nanofluids, convective multiphase flow, computational fluid dynamics, and Fluid Dynamics from Nanoscale to Universe scale. He is an innovative thinker and, based on fluid dynamics, constructal law, nature and patterns in nature, and cosmology data, he invented a new general and multidiscipline theory as “Source and Sink Theory”. His general-multidiscipline theory has the potential to describe the early universe better than previous theories, and the link to the online article is https://dx.doi.org/10.22606/tp.2020.51001. He believes his theory is the case for the future. He has published more than 300 articles, conference papers and book chapters, and has been supervised more than 30 research masters and PhD students, as well as postdoctoral researchers. Dr. Oronzio Manca is a distinguished full professor of Thermal Sciences at the Department of Engineering at Università degli Studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" in Napoli, Italy.
