Graduate Research Assistant

Noble energy storage liquid development for solar collector applications:

Modify thermal properties of the ionic liquids by dispersing nanoparticles to enhance energy storage capability and

heat transfer rate. Measurements of thermophysical properties of nanoparticle enhanced ionic liquids (NEILs).

Experimental investigation of natural and forced convection behaviors of NEILs.

CFD modeling of natural and forced convection of NEILs:

Performed CFD model of buoyancy driven heat transfer and forced convection of NEILs using temperature

dependent thermophysical properties with single phase and discrete (two phase) models.

Innovative heat transfer research for high heat flux electronics cooling:

Experimental investigation of enhanced microchannel cooling with modified surface morphology.

Control surface morphology of a microchannel with nanostructures to modify interfacial behavior for better heat

transfer performance and studied both single-phase and two-phase convective flows with modified surfaces.
