Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering RESEARCH TALK ON UNDERSTANDING THE HEAT TRANSFER BEHAVIOR IN POROUS MEDIUM

Date Time Venue Speaker SYNOPSIS The interest in the study of different aspects of porous medium has increased to many folds in recent decades. This immense amount of interest has resulted into myriad research papers addressing the wide range of problems involving porous medium such as understanding of structure of porous medium, deformation of porous medium, natural convective heat transfer etc. The study of porous medium is one of the classical subjects in science. There are various definitions of porous medium but, it can be defined in simple terms as, a medium which allows the fluid to flow through itself. Typically a porous medium is composed of solid matrix, which is interconnected to form a web like network. This network of the medium is arranged in such a way that the pores are created in between the solid. These pores are responsible for the flow of fluid through the porous medium. The pore size in the medium is an important feature, which describes the physique of the porous medium. The relative size of the solid area and the area occupied by pores is expressed in terms of non-dimensional variable called porosity. This Talk focusses on understanding the heat transfer behaviour inside the porous medium enclosed in different geometry. BIODATA OF SPEAKER
Dr IRFAN obtained his Bachelor of Engineering from Karnataka University Dharwad and then Master of Technology from Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belguam in INDIA. He was awarded PhD in the year 2007 from Universiti Sains Malaysia, in the field of Heat transfer. He has attended many conferences and delivered keynote address. He is a associate member of IMechE and poceses 50+ papers in International journals. His current reaserch includes heat transfer in porous medium, renewable energy, heat transfer in human body, Finite Element Analysis.
