Ekkad\nDepartment Head and RJ Reynolds Professor\nMechanical &a mp\; Aerospace Engineering\nNorth Carolina State University\n\nAbstract\nH eat transfer plays a significant role in many applications. In this presen tation\, an overview of heat transfer applications based research problems are presented. The goal is to communicate how important heat transfer is and the need for measurements in evaluation of design solutions. Thermal d esign involves a combination of analytical\, computational\, and experimen tal tools. Detailed analytical\, computational\, and experimental techniqu es are combined to problem specific unique solutions. Problems in gas turb ines\, electronic cooling\, thermoelectric generation are presented with i nterested heat transfer measurements and their impact in those problems. S ome of these solutions will demonstrate the complexity of the problem and the approach to a solution. Problems in gas turbines\, electronic cooling\ , thermoelectric generation are presented with interested heat transfer me asurements and their impact in those problems. Some of these solutions wil l demonstrate the complexity of the problem and the approach to a solution . Some examples include power electronic power control unit cooling\, rota ting turbine airfoil channels\, thermoelectric generator heat exchangers\, impingement cooling\, gas turbine combustor liner cooling\, among other p roblems. Detailed experimental and computational analysis to understand an d solve the given problem using heat transfer fundamentals will be present ed. Some of the problems also involve optimized solutions that focus on th e design and manufacturing constraints.\n\nBiography\nDr. S. V. Ekkad is t he Department Head and RJ Reynolds Professor in the Mechanical &\; Aero space Engineering Department at North Carolina State University since Sept ember 2017. He previously served as the Associate Vice President for Resea rch Programs at Virginia Tech. He also held the title of Rolls-Royce Commo nwealth Professor for Aerospace Propulsion Systems at Virginia Tech. He wa s also the Founder and Director of the Rolls-Royce University Technology C enter for Advanced System Diagnostics at Virginia Tech\, one of 30 centers around the world\, prior to joining NC State. He was in the Mechanical En gineering department at Virginia Tech from August 2007 to September 2017 a fter 9 years at LSU and 2 years at Rolls-Royce Allison Engine Company in I ndianapolis. He received his Ph.D. from Texas A&\;M University and M.S. from Arizona State University. He has over 25 years of experience in heat transfer related research. He has published over 250 journal &\; confe rence articles\, three patents and co-authored a book and three book chapt ers. He currently has funding from Honeywell Aerospace\, Boeing\, Pratt &a mp\; Whitney\, and Trilotus Aerospace Systems/Chromalloy. He has been work ing on gas turbine cooling and heat transfer issues since 1989 including a stint as a design engineer at Rolls-Royce\, Indianapolis before his acade mic career. Dr. Ekkad has also served as a summer faculty fellow at AFRL\, Dayton in 2003. He is well known for his contributions to heat transfer e xperimental methods. In 2004\, he received the inaugural ASME Bergles/Rohs enow Young Investigator in Heat Transfer Award for significant contributio ns to the field of heat transfer by a researcher under the age of 36. He i s also the Editor-in-Chief for the ASME Journal for Thermal Science and En gineering Applications. He received the 2022 AIAA Air Breathing Propulsion Award and the 2022 ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award and was named a fell ow of the Royal Aeronautical Society in 2023 and Fellow of AIAA in 2024.\n \nMAE Faculty Host: Dr. Youngsup Song CATEGORIES:Seminars LOCATION:MAE-A Room 303\, 939 Sweetwater Drive\, Gainesville\, FL\, 32611\, United States GEO:29.643814;-82.34865 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=939 Sweetwater Drive\, Gain esville\, FL\, 32611\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=MAE-A Room 303:geo:29.643814,-82.34865 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
