Nanofluids Technology for Thermal Sciences and Engineering

Mukesh Kumar Awasthi did his PhD on the topic "Viscous Correction for the Potential Flow Analysis of Capillary and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability". He is an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. Dr. Awasthi specialized in the mathematical modeling of flow problems. He has taught courses on Fluid Mechanics, Discrete Mathematics, Partial differential equations, Abstract Algebra, Mathematical Methods, and Measure theory to postgraduate students. He has excellent knowledge in the mathematical modeling of flow problems, and he can solve these problems analytically as well as numerically. He has a good grasp of subjects like viscous potential flow, electro-hydrodynamics, magneto-hydrodynamics, heat, and mass transfer. Dr. Awasthi qualified for the National Eligibility Test (NET) conducted on all India level in 2008 by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and got a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) for doing research. He has published 115 plus research publications (journal articles/books/book chapters/conference articles) in many national and international journals and conferences. Also, he has published eight books. He has attended many symposia, workshops, and conferences in mathematics as well as fluid mechanics. He got "Research Awards" four times consecutively from 2013 to 2016 from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India. He has also received start-up research funds for his project "Nonlinear study of the interface in multilayer fluid system" from UGC, New Delhi. He is also listed in the top 2% of influential researchers in the world prepared by Stanford University based on Scopus data in 2022. Dr. Nitesh Dutt is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, COER University Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India. He has more than 7 years of teaching experience. He did his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, and has a Masters and PhD from IIT Roorkee. He has published more than 11 research articles in international journals and conferences. His main areas of research include nuclear engineering, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, refrigeration and air conditioning, computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Dr. Ashwani Kumar holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Mechanical Vibration and Design. Currently, he is serving as a senior lecturer in Mechanical Engineering (Gazetted Officer Group B) at the Technical Education Department Uttar Pradesh Kanpur, India (under the Government of Uttar Pradesh). He has been serving the department since December 2013. Previously, Dr. Kumar worked as an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Graphic Era University, Dehradun, India (NIRF Ranking 55) from July 2010 to November 2013. With over 13 years of experience in research, academia, and administration, he has taken on various roles, including Coordinator for AICTE-Extension of Approval, Nodal officer for PMKVY-TI Scheme (Government of India), internal coordinator-CDTP scheme (Government of Uttar Pradesh), Industry Academia relation officer, Assistant Centre Superintendent (ACS)-Institute Examination Cell, and Zonal Officer to conduct Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Diploma). He also served as a Sector Magistrate for Lok Sabha-Vidhan Sabha Election. As an academician and researcher, Dr. Kumar holds the position of Series Editor for five book series published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis USA) and Wiley Scrivener Publishing USA.
