Emerging Trends in Mechanical Engineering: Select Proceedings of ICETMIE 2019 (Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering)

This book consists of select proceedings of the International Conference on Emerging Trends in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (ICETMIE) 2019. It covers current trends in thermal, design, industrial, production and other sub-disciplines of mechanical engineering. This volume focuses on different areas of design engineering including computational mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, finite elements in modelling, simulation, analysis and design, kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, micro- and nano-mechanics, solid mechanics and structural mechanics, vibration and acoustics, applied mechanics, and biomechanics. It also covers various topics from thermal engineering including refrigeration plants, heat exchangers, heat pumps and heat pipes, combined heat and power and advanced alternative cycles, polygeneration, combustion processes, heat transfer, solar cells, solar thermal power plants, and the integration of renewable energy with conventional processes. This book will beuseful for students, researchers as well as professionals working in the area of mechanical engineering, especially thermal engineering and engineering design and other allied areas. 

Dr. L. M. Das is currently Professor at the Centre for Energy Studies, IIT Delhi. He took his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Regional Engineering College, Rourkela in 1970 and M. Tech degree from the, Kharagpur in 1972. Dr. Das completed his doctorate from IIT, Delhi in field of Mechanical Engineering. His primary areas of research interest include the development of alternative-fuelled low emission engine/vehicles. He has published more than 80 research papers in various independently refereed international and national journals in the area of alternative fuels such as Hydrogen, CNG, Biodiesel and Hydrogen- CNG blend.
