Mr. Hemantkumar Kadam | Heat Transfer | Best Researcher Award
Assistant Professor and PhD Scholar at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering | India
Mr. Hemantkumar Hindurao Kadam is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering with expertise in thermal sciences, heat transfer, and nanofluids research. He is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering with a research focus on nanofluids, surfactants, stability, and heat transfer enhancement. His academic journey includes advanced studies in thermal engineering with specialization in experimental investigations on alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. His research contributions center on the use of synthetic and biosurfactants, particularly rhamnolipids, for stabilizing nanofluids and improving their thermophysical properties such as viscosity, interfacial tension, and dispersion stability. Through his investigations, he has proposed sustainable approaches to enhance heat transfer performance, offering practical applications in renewable energy systems, HVAC technologies, and electronic cooling solutions. He has published peer-reviewed work in leading journals indexed in SCIE and ESCI, with contributions that highlight the comparative environmental and functional benefits of biosurfactants over synthetic surfactants. His academic portfolio includes journal papers, conference presentations, granted copyrights, and an innovation patent under process. He holds professional membership in ISTE and continues to advance research in sustainable heat transfer technologies. His academic metrics reflect 4 citations by 4 documents, 4 published documents, and an h-index of 1.
