About the AuthorsN. V. Suryanarayana
N. V. Suryanarayana obtained his B.S. Degree in mechanical engineering from Bangalore University and worked for a little over eight years in a shipbuilding yard in India. He obtained an M.S. degree from Columbia University and a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Dr. Suryanarayana joined the faculty of Michigan Technological University in 1970, where he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in thermal sciences, and developed a course on design in thermal sciences in 1986. Dr. Suryanarayana retired in 2000 and is now Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering.
Dr. Suryanarayana's research interest is mainly in heat transfer, and NSF and NASA have funded his research activities. He has published a book on heat transfer and contributed chapters on convection to the CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering and Handbook of Mechanical Engineering as well as published many journal articles on the subject of heat transfer. Currently, Dr. Suryanarayana is involved in the revision of the chapter on heat transfer for the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.
N. V. Suryanarayana is a Fellow of the ASME and a member of the ASHRAE, Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pai, and Phi Kappa Phi. He and his wife, Pramila, reside in Syracuse, NY. Öner Arıcı
Öner Arıcı, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan Technological University received his M.S. (1960) from the Istanbul Technical University and Ph.D. (1969) from Brown University. He taught at Istanbul Technical University and the University Michigan. Dr. Arıcı joined the faculty of mechanical engineering at Michigan Technological University in 1981, where he is Associate Chair of Graduate Studies of the ME-EM Department.
Dr. Arıcı has taught courses in thermal sciences at the undergraduate and graduate levels. His research interests are in the fields of solar energy, heat transfer, automobile climate control, and heavy duty diesel engine cooling and simulations. He has published in these areas and has received funding from industry.
He is a member of the SAE, ASME, ASHRAE, and ISES. Dr Arici and his wife, Nesrin, reside in Houghton, MI. |
