Research Project

My research has been focused on enhancing thermal transfer in hybrid and ternary nanofluids under complex physical conditions — particularly magnetohydrodynamics, thermal radiation, non-Newtonian fluid behaviours (Casson, Jeffrey models), porous media, and advanced geometries (thin films, fins, conical surfaces). It is shown that by combining multiple nanoparticle types (e.g. MoS₂, Cu, CNTs), and appropriately tuning magnetic field strength, nanoparticle volume fraction, and geometry, significant improvements in heat transfer can be achieved. Through sensitivity and parametric analysis, the most influential parameters, enabling better design guidelines is identified. Moving forward, I aim to validate these models experimentally, extend modeling to include more realistic radiative transfer, explore unsteady/ transient behaviours, and develop optimization frameworks that balance thermal performance with flow resistance and material constraints.
