Title
Transport phenomena analysis in various fluid dynamical systems
Abstract: The different modes of mass transfer are convection diffusion adsorption and reaction which are affected by the associated fluid flow. In this talk I will present analysis of different fluid dynamical systems and the related transport phenomena in membrane separation (useful for both design and operation) separation in microfluidic devices liquid crystal mediums magnetic particle separation water management in coastal aquifers adsorption based filtration and reactive flows. The analysis is based on a continuum view and laminar flows. The work has been helpful in predicting and understanding the interplay of different physical mechanisms happening here.Bio-sketch: Sourav Mondal has done his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Presently he is working as a post-doctoral researcher in the University of Oxford. His research work is dedicated to various modeling and mathematical analysis of the transport phenomena in different separation processes including membrane based filtration of wastewater treatment fruit juice clarification dye separation bio-product separation mixed matrix membrane filtration etc. He is also working on modeling of adsorption microfluidic mass transport computational fluid dynamics of multiphase separation processes and other fluid dynamical processes as well as environmental challenges. He has already authored three books one book chapter one patent and more than thirty publications in international journals.
