News from TPR Group

December 15, 2011

  1. There will be a number of workshops and conferences in 2012 that TPR Group is going to be actively involved in.
    There is a Drying Conference to be held in Ahwaz, Iran. Dr. Xu Peng (Hangzhou) will present a poster paper there. A Food Processing Conference will be held in Bangkok in late March 2012 where Prof. Mujumdar will present a Keynote lecture. Vice President Li Jingai of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing has invited Prof. Mujumdar to visit them in May. He also has invitations from China Agri. University, Beijing and Tianjin University of Science and Technology in Tianjin to visit them. In June 2012 the follow up conference of 2011 on Food Processing will be held in KL, Malaysia. M3TC is planning a workshop in June 2012. IDS2012 will be held in Xiamen in November 2012. Prof. Mujumdar will be a keynote speaker at a Pharma conf in KL in November 2012. Busy year overall. Check conference links at this site for details. Visit www.m3tc.sg for M3TC events.
  2. Dr Sachin Jangam is working on 2 issues of Drying Technology based on ADC2011 conference papers. These issues will be out in mid-2012. First 4 issues of LDRT are already complete ahead of schedule.
  3. Dr Jangam and Dr Sasmito were guest speakers at a Mine Managers Show Asia2011 in Bali last week.
  4. Prof. Mujumdar will be in India in latter half and first half of January 2012. There will be limited internet access during this period. During this visit, Professor Mujumdar will give a talk at ICT, Mumbai, India.

November 28, 2011

  1. Volume 4 of Modern Drying Technology, Wiley-VCH, is now published. Sachin Jangam and A S Mujumdar have a chapter on heat pump-assisted drying in this volume.
  2. Statistics related to publications and citations thereto have been compiled by Sachin for the TPR group. Click here for details.
  3. Drying Technology journal will be in 30 years of publication in 2012. Prof. Mujumdar has been actively involved with it since its inception in 1982. He has been the Editor-in-Chief since 1988. Its impact factor is estimated to exceed 2 in 2011.

November 14, 2011

  1. Prof. Mujumdar is recovering from dengue and hence there will be delay in responding to e-mails and review requests. He will not be able to accept any requests for reviews over the next four weeks.
  2. Volume 4 of Modern Drying Technology ( VCH-Wiley) has just been pubilshed. It is part of a 5-volume set edited by Prof. E. Tsotsas and Prof. A.S.Mujumdar.

October 23, 2011

  1. Dr Sachin Jangam presented a seminar on Upgrading of Low Rank Coal on October 21, 2011. It was very well attended by industry personnel and representatives from the commercial sector. The seminar presented an overview of diverse technologies for coal upgrading by thermal dehydration as well as pelletizing and high pressure water treatment. Moisture re-absorption was identified as a key issue during storage and transportation over long distances.
    M3TC would be interested to hear from interested industrial establishments to look into this technological problem of great importance. Prof. Mujumdar gave a short overview of M3TC activities and welcomed industry partnership to tackle problems of industry interest.
  2. Volume 4 of Modern Drying Technology (VCH-Wiley, Germany) is in press and should be published soon.
  3. Several book chapters by TPR members have been completed and are due for publication soon.
  4. Volume 29 of Drying Technology (LDRT) (16 issues) is complete. In fact No. 2 issue of volume 30 (2012) is already available on-line. The journal will celebrate its three decades of successful journey with a series of invited reviews as well as special issues with prominent Guest Editors. It will also contain a series of guest editorials documenting the history of the journals well as some useful statistical analysis of journal publications.
TPR Group

Our Group's current research effort is directed towards experimental and modeling studies of heat, mass and momentum transport problems of industrial interest. They are motivated by the need to conserve energy and to generate energy from renewable sources. Among projects recently completed or on-going are: studies of pulse combustion and novel dryers based on pulse combustor exhaust as drying medium, convective heat transfer using nanofluids, heat transfer characteristics of constructal channels; phase change material (PCM) based cooling systems for electronic components, modeling of PEM fuel cells etc. Basic fluid and thermal characterization of impinging and opposing jets has also been carried out in a series of studies. Focus in coming years will be on various aspects of energy systems involving both nonrenewable and renewable energy sources and their utilization.

Additionally, a number of international collaborative projects are under way with institutions around the world. Details can be found on this site.

SEASON's GREETINGS & VERY BEST WISHES TO ALL VISITORS FOR A VERY HAPPY, JOYOUS, HEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL 2012!
