About

Dr. Jamel Orfi is a professor of Mechanical engineering at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He obtained his PhD Degree from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada in 1995. He worked in Tunisia and Canada as assistant Professor. His research interests focus on desalination processes and thermodynamic analysis of thermal and desalination systems, as well as on renewable energy applications (geothermal and solar). He developed several national and international collaborations and worked on projects on power and desalination, solar energy, evaporative cooling systems, and brine discharge problems. He has several publications on convective heat and mass transfer with evaporation/condensation and solar desalination and systems including two book chapters on modeling of a membrane distillation unit for desalination and brine discharge problems. Dr. Orfi is a member of KSU’s MED (Multiple Effect Distillation) technology transfer team collaborating with SWCC (Saline Water Conversion Corporation). He has been involved in teaching Thermal Sciences and Desalination to undergraduate and graduate students as well as in the academic management of graduate studies in Mechanical and Desalination engineering graduate programs.
Dr Orfi is on leave from University of Monastir, Tunisia and had been adjunct professor at Sherbrooke University, Canada.
