Research Interests
Dr. P. A. Deshmukh has more than 24 years Teaching and research experience in the areas of Heat Transfer, Fluid and Thermal Engineering. Professor Deshmukh's research group does both fundamental and applied research. The research activities carried out by the group is done with an objective of providing immediate solutions to an engineering problem in hand. Some of the current research activities in the areas of thermal and fluid Engineering are in the development of advanced cooling technologies, customized heat spreaders, augmented heat transfer technologies, performance improvement of centrifugal pumps and computational heat transfer and fluid dynamics.
The desirable prerequisites for any student wanting to carry out research with thus group must have had course in fluid dynamics, heat transfer and strong in mathematics in the areas of ordinary differential equation, Matrix algebra, Fourier Transform and Numerical Methods. Prospective students should have had adequate software experience in software packages like MATLAB, ANSYS and FLUIENT.
