About the Author

Róbert Kovács’ research focuses on continuum thermodynamics and modeling problems of non-classical phenomena of heat conduction and rheology toward the development of numerical and analytical mathematical tools of thermodynamic equations. He is involved in various industrial projects concering modeling drying processes and analyzing thermal behaviors.

 

Viktor Józsa:Viktor Józsa’s main field of research is liquid fuel combustion. In addition to teaching numerical simulation and heat engine-related subjects, he is involved in industrial projects to investigate thermal problems. Partner companies include Siemens, General Electric, and Alstom, as wellas other international and national corporations in the energy sector. He designed the complete framework of the PocketQube-class satellite, the SMOG-1.

 

Both authors are Assistant Professors at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
