New Delhi; April 7, 2010: A distinguished Professor of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, Dr. S.C. Mishra delivered an invited seminar today at Delhi Technological University (DTU), formerly Delhi College of Engineering, to share his latest research in the areas of ‘Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer interactions in tomorrow’s Heat Transfer Systems’.

Highlighting the importance of the Multi Phase Flow with Heat Transfer Dr. Mishra informed that higher end mathematical formulations involving Boltzmann’s method requiring super computational capabilities have become necessary to resolve the phenomena’s involved for understanding the complex Heat Transfer systems such as in re-entry of Spacecraft into the earth orbit, multi phase heat transfer from atomic reactors and also in high temperature fluid flows through narrow channels. Such studies have a direct bearing on understanding the Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer related issues in various systems and sub-systems of human body including the neural systems.

Dr. Mishra’s seminar was attended by a large number of faculty members, undergraduate and postgraduate students of Mechanical Engineering department of DTU and was coordinated by Prof. Sagar Maji, Head, Mechanical Engineering Department, DTU. The seminar was organized as a part of invited lecture series aimed at assimilating recent advancements and other current and future applications for engineering sciences. “DTU has a focussed programme on synergy between Science and Engineering to advance the frontiers of knowledge. Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer are two such areas which have a very strong bearing on the Science base of modern engineering”, informed Prof. P.B. Sharma, Vice Chancellor DTU, highlighting the relevance of the seminars such as that of Dr. Mishra.
