Event Name: DST-ANRF FUNDED FIVE DAYS ONLINE WORKSHOP on Frontiers in Flow Boiling: Exploring Multiscale Transport, Industrial Applications, and Future Pathways
Event Start Date: 18-08-2025
Event End Date: 22-08-2025
Event Mode: Online
Event Organizing Department: Department of Mechanical Engineering
About Event:
The objective of this workshop is to provide a detailed understanding of flow boiling phenomena, focusing on fundamental principles, multiscale transport mechanisms, and their relevance to real-world applications. Flow boiling is widely used in systems such as power generation, refrigeration, electronics cooling, and chemical processing. Despite its importance, the design and operation of such systems remain challenging due to the combined effects of heat transfer, phase change, fluid flow, and surface interactions. Topics to be covered include boiling heat transfer in tubes and microchannels, methods to enhance heat transfer using structured and coated surfaces, and the influence of various operating conditions on system performance. The workshop will also examine the link between small-scale processes such as bubble nucleation and departure and large-scale performance measures like heat flux and pressure drop. Both experimental findings and theoretical models will be discussed.
This workshop is aligned with national initiatives such as Make in India and Skill India, aimed at strengthening technical competence in thermal system design and development. Research scholars, faculty members, and professionals from industry are invited to register. The workshop will feature lectures by experienced speakers from academic institutions, research centres, and industry, promoting exchange of ideas and collaboration.

About Institution:
National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal is located in Mangalore City, Karnataka State, India. The Institute was established as Karnataka Regional Engineering College (KREC) in 1960, and upgraded as National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) in 2002. Mangalore is the headquarters of the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada, and boasts an important centre of education, business and trade in the state. Sri. U. Srinivasa Mallya, a visionary and a philanthropist, contributed immensely to the development of the coastal region of Karnataka, and his effort towards establishment of KREC (now NITK) is the most significant one. In recognition of his role as the founder and architect of the institute, the campus premises is named after him as Srinivasnagar.
