About

Presently working on the development of latent heat thermal energy storage technology for concentrated solar power application. The work is focused on the design of the energy storage system using modeling techniques to improve the heat transfer rate. Simulation packages such as COMSOL Multiphysics, DYMOLA are used for the optimization and studying the heat transfer characteristics. Also, working on the thermal management of electronics using hybrid heat sinks and thermal conductivity enhancers such as expanded graphite.
