The heat and power industry is undergoing a major transformation, and multinational enterprises must adapt to satisfy ever-increasing present and future demands. The Office of International Relations and Higher Studies at SRM University-AP is organising a lecture titled “MSc in Advanced Heat Engineering at Cranfield University” to educate the students about the importance, scope and opportunities of the field. Dr Kumar Patchigolla, Course Director at Cranfield University will illuminate the participants on the topic on April 13, 2022, at 03.30 pm.
All are invited to participate in the lecture organised as a part of the International Lecture Series.
About the Speaker
Dr Patchigolla joined Cranfield University in 2009 as Lecturer in 2012, Senior Lecturer in 2017 and Reader in 2020. During this period he is involved in the demonstration of low-temperature heat storage (rock bed), thermal driven absorption chiller (Li-Br), combustion (fluidized, pulverized), gasification (fixed, fluidized), the capture of CO2 (Chemical/Calcium looping) and CO2 pipeline and shipping transport facilities, evaluating the effects on component durability and gas cleaning requirements of systems using a wide range of solid fuels. These include biomasses, waste and sewage sludge as well as coal either alone or in different co-fired combinations and supervision of research activities using the Pilot Scale Advanced Capture (PACT) facilities.
