This book presents select peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Futuristic Advancements in Materials, Manufacturing and Thermal Sciences (ICFAMMT 2022). The book provides an overview of the latest research in the area of thermal sciences such as computational and numerical methods in fluid flow and heat transfer, advanced energy systems, optimization of thermal systems, technologies for space, and aerospace applications, supersonic combustion, two-phase / multiphase flows. The book will be useful for researchers and professionals working in the field of thermal sciences
About the author
Vivek Kumar Singh is currently working as Scientist/Engineer at Thermal Engineering Division of Space Application Centre, ISRO, Ahmedabad. He is working in the area of thermal design, analysis and testing of spacecraft payloads. He worked as Project Manager (Payload Thermal) for various spacecraft payloads (RISAT-2B, GSAT-20, GSAT-24, GSAT-30, IDRSS, etc.) of ISRO. He worked at Propulsion Research & Studies Entity of Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, ISRO, Trivandrum from year 2007 till 2013, where he worked mainly in the area of CFD analyses for engine/stage components and electric propulsion subsystems. He has research interest in the area satellite payload thermal management, heat transportation devices, PCMs, Cryogenics, etc. He has published papers in peer reviewed international journals. He is the recipient of Dr. Wille Memorial Prize for the year 2007, conferred by the National Society of Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power, India.
Dr. Gautam Choubey is presently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad, India. He holds a Ph.D. in the field of supersonic combustion and an M.Tech. in thermal engineering from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Silchar, India. For the past 8 years, his research has focused on computational fluid dynamics modelling of supersonic compressible flow. Dr. Choubey has authored more than 30 publications in reputed SCI journals. His research interest mainly includes scramjet combustion, supersonic combustion, turbulence modelling in high-speed flows, and shock-boundary layer interaction. He also figured among top 2% researchers and scientists of the world in a report published by Stanford University (United States) and Elsevier BV (Netherlands) for the year 2020. He is also serving as an editorial board member of BMC ResearchNotes (Springer Nature), Mathematical Problems in Engineering (Hindwai; IF: 1.430).
Dr. S. Suresh has worked extensively in the area of nanofluids, nanostructured surfaces, vacuum insulation panels, nano-encapsulated PCM and phase change materials. He has successfully completed several projects funded by the DST, SERI, SERB, UKIERI, CSIR and ISRO. He has collaboration with global universities in UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan for research project, knowledge sharing and exchange, patent and paper publications, joint research projects and student exchange programs. From the research outcomes, he has published more than 150 research papers in peer reviewed journals among them about 30 were exclusively in the PCM field, and his articles have citations of 7130 times. He has an h-index of 40 and i-10 index of 101. He has been awarded the prestigious Shastri Mobility Award by the Indo-Canadian Shastri Institute in 2018. In 2019, hehas been elected as a fellow of the Institute of Engineers.
