gathering.
Rev. Fr Rohith D'Costa, In-charge
Director – SJEC, Dr Ajay Kumar Yadav, Professor, Department of Mechanical
Engineering, NITK, and Dr Sudheer M, Head of Mechanical Engineering, were the
Guests of Honour; Dr Rio D' Souza, Vice Principal – SJEC, presided over the
function.
Dr Rio D’souza, Vice Principal of SJEC delivered
the presidential talk to the gathering. He told about the importance of such technical
talks, and gave brief introduction to Nanotechnology and the challenge set by
Richard Feynman which led to the development of Nanotechnology. He gave an
example of storing giga-bytes of data in a chip as small as a pin head, which
can be possible only through Nanotechnology. He talked about recycling and how
it could be possible through Nanotechnology. He appreciated the efforts of ISTE
in organizing such a good technical talk. He also thanked Dr Ajay Kumar Yadav
in helping SJEC to bring Prof. Shuichi Torii for technical talk. He thanked Prof.
Shuichi Torii for agreeing to give this Technical talk. He then called upon all
the gathering to benefit from this technical talk. Later a Memento and a gift were
given to Prof. Shuichi Torii by Director-in-charge Rev. Fr Rohith D’Costa as a
token of love and appreciation.
Technical talk on Turbulent Heat
Transfer behaviour of Nano Fluid in a circular tube heated under constant heat
flux was presented by Prof. Shuichi Torii. He started his talk by showing the
location of Kumamoto, Japan in the world map and how far it is from India. He
gave a brief history of Japan and specifically about Kumamoto University and
the legends bo from this university. He also told about the recent earthquake
which struck Japan and how inteational news channels like CNN, BBC gave wrong
information about the whole of Kumamoto city being destroyed in earthquake, but
in reality only a small town outside of Kumamoto was affected by the earthquake.
Later in the talk Prof. Shuichi Torii
described what exactly a Nano-Fluid is. He stated that it’s a fluid with
particles less than 100nm in diameter suspended in a conventional fluid like water, engine oil or any other fluid etc.
Then he continued by showing a brief history of
all the research works done on Nanofluids.
He stated that the research on Nano-Fluids is particularly recent i.e. around after
1980s. All the research being done is on
Convective Heat Transfer on laminar flow of Nanofluids.
They see the thermal conductivity of the Nano-Fluids against the concentration
of Nanofluids. Generally, the Nano-fluids
include agglomeration of Alumina or Graphene or Carbon Nanotubes in traditional
fluids. He even told about Nano Fluid technology and its Current Status and
Future Research scope. Prof. Shuichi Torii stressed that in Industries,
turbulent flow is of higher importance than laminar flow. Therefore his
research is about Thermal Conductivity of Nano-Fluids in turbulent flow. He
shows the compounding of Nano Particles of Cu and Al2O3 with water. He showed the thermal conductivity and normalised
conductivity against the concentration of the Nanoparticles.
His research is being done in the Shockwave
and condensed matter research centre of Kumamoto University. Here he uses
dynamite to make Nano-particles of diamond using
detonation and shock application. It’s a low cost and easy process of
producing Nano-Diamonds. His research of nano-fluid is water + Nano-Diamonds.
He also showed the Zeta potential of Nano- Diamonds in fluid.
His future vision is in cooling systems by
the usage of Nanofluids as coolants where
higher performance and lower size can be achieved. He ends the talk on a
positive note on the Main Research topics on the Enhancement of nano-fluids,
Heat transfer performance, Aggregate Nano-Particles and how to separate them.
The talk was followed by interaction with mechanical engineering students.
Dr. Ajay Kumar Yadav suggested all the
students to read some books and watch the video lectures on Nano-Fluids. He also
gave the information on the inteational symposium which is held in Japan
every year around the month of March and requested the students and staff
members to apply. After the technical talk a Memento
was presented to Dr. Ajay Kumar Yadav by Dr. Sudheer M, Head of
Mechanical Engineering, SJEC. Vote of thanks given by Mr. Loy Feandes,
President of ISTE-SJEC Students’ chapter.

by Rev. Fr Rohit D’Costa, Assistant Director. Dr Rio D’Souza, Vice-Principal of
SJEC articulated his thoughts and views of the Seminar topic in his
Presidential Address. Dr Rio, in his speech, shared a few insights into the art
of Disruptive Creativity, wherein a person seeks creative answers by
questioning the norms.
Assistant Director Rev. Fr Rohit D’Costa, presented the chief guest with a memento.
Certificates of honour for the teachers and students who had participated in I.S.T.E sponsored Srinivasa Ramanujan Mathematical Competitions 2014-2015 (SRMC 2014-15), the nationwide mathematics exam held on 1st November 2014 for Engineering Students and Teachers, were distributed by the chief guest Mr Wolfram Thurm and Dr Rio D’Souza, to the teachers and students respectively. Mr Prashanth Kamath, ISTE Student Coordinator, concluded the formal function with a vote of thanks.
Mr
Wolfram Thurm started the seminar by introducing himself in a manner that
showed his humble nature whilst highlighting his achievements. He is a
conglomerate of a Musician, Product Designer and Fashion Designer. As a
Designer, Mr Thurm believes that a product has to be made based on logic and
purpose whereas the aesthetics comes in secondary. He then went on to elucidate
his current project work in India.
In
his talk he presented his belief in the Right to Interaction among people concocted
his project titled – TOGETHERNESS –
Public Spaces for Transformation in which he specified a few key points,
notably:
Plan for an existing site (public space).
He
asked the gathering – Why Should People Work Together? His answers were
eye-openers:
Spirit
of Collaboration will be felt.
Design
+ Engineering = Exceptional Products
Meaningful ideas and innovations will lead to better economy and understanding.
With this, Mr Thurm ended his seminar on a retrospective note – To create something with his Own Hands rather than Just Talk about ideas. After this, he answered the myriad of questions posed by the intrigued audience. And on the request of students, Mr Thurm sang a hymn by playing a guitar.
Dr
Vincent Crasta, HOD-Physics felicitated Mr Thurm, and with that, the activities
of ISTE SJEC Student’s Chapter for the current semester had culminated.
