MAHE Dubai congratulates Dr. Sampath Suranjan and Dr. Sachidananda (School of Engineering & Information Technology), along with third-year Mechanical Engineering students Abdulla Abdul Jaleel, Moin Alam, Jaya Jatin Bhavesh Podugu, and collaborators from MIT, on the publication of their peer-reviewed paper:

“Effect of Flow Dynamics on a Rotary Wick Cooler.”

The article appears in the Journal of Building Engineering (Scopus Q1) and investigates how flow behavior influences the thermal performance of rotary wick cooling systems used in built-environment and HVAC applications.

Why this matters?

Energy efficiency – insights to optimize passive/low-energy cooling in buildings.

Design guidance – parameters for improving wick geometry, rotation, and airflow to enhance heat transfer.

Experiential learning – undergraduate co-authors contribute to real research outputs and industry-relevant problem-solving.

Access: The paper is attached for reading.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Sampath, Dr. Sachidananda, and our students on this achievement.
