| Dr. Raj Manglik is Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Thermal Fluids and Thermal Processing Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Manglik received his Ph.D. in 1991 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York.
He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Wessex Institute of Great Britain. He has also received the National Science Foundation Young Investigator/CAREER Award, the Procter & Gamble UERP Award (1995), and the National Science Foundation Research Initiation Award (1992). Dr. Manglik is or has been the editor of the Journal of Heat Transfer (ASME), International Journal of Heat Exchangers, and Heat Transfer & Fluid Flow Data Books. Dr. Manglik reports on activities related to Fuel Cells: "The imperatives of growing energy demands urgently warrant the development of alternative energy systems, and Fuel Cells have become increasingly attractive as they can readily operate with hydrogen and organic hydrocarbon fuels. Our research addresses DMFC for portable electronic devices, PEMFC for automobile and transportation, and SOFC for cogeneration and large power generation. System optimization is considered for viable usage and enhancement of energy efficiency and power density. Primary determinants for both performance optimization and economic miniaturization are the attendant thermal and water management to control and enhance the heat, mass, and volatile species transport." |
