Collaboration - Leading Collaborative Research in Renewable Thermal Solutions

Nirmal Parmar, in collaboration with Kamlesh and Omprakash, is at the helm of cutting-edge research focused on renewable thermal applications for mini and micro-scale industries. This joint effort is dedicated to creating advanced, data-driven solutions that enhance efficiency and promote sustainability across the energy sector.

Leadership and Roles:

• Nirmal Parmar leads the research, working extensively with machine learning and advanced data analysis to develop state-of-the-art Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and thermodynamic models. In addition to research, Nirmal is driving the development of custom Python libraries, designed to be utilized by the broader scientific community for future research and innovation.

• Kamlesh Parmar focuses on experimental research, testing thermal applications across various climate conditions and dynamic supply-demand scenarios to ensure practical implementation.

• Omprakash Bharati, an expert in Experimental Heat Transfer, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Time Thermodynamics, Flow Diagnostic Techniques, Inverse Heat Transfer Techniques, and Fluid-Structure Interaction, supports the team by contributing to CFD work and the development of numerical models.

Research & Development Domains:

• Renewable Energy Applications

• Solar Water Heating Systems

• Closed-Loop Pulsating Heat Pipes

• Photovoltaic Cells

• Battery Thermal Management Systems

By combining experimental research, computational modeling, and data-driven approaches, this collaboration aims to develop transformative thermal energy solutions. Moreover, the creation of specialized Python libraries will empower the scientific community to further expand on this research, driving innovation in renewable energy and thermal management.

In this collaborative effort, Master’s and PhD theses are being actively produced, contributing significantly to the body of knowledge in renewable energy and thermal management. These research papers offer valuable insights into the ongoing work and are available for academic reference.

Candidates interested in pursuing research in these fields are encouraged to approach any of the researchers—Nirmal Parmar, Kamlesh Parmar, or Omprakash Bharati—to inquire about possible openings or thesis topics.

 Collaboration SPEM - Salt Production Enhancement Methods

This research work was carried out with the collaboration of Nirmal Parmar and Bipin Vyas (Experimental Work; Scientist at CSMCRI, CSIR, India). The first major aim of the research work is to conduct an experiment with the SPEM (salt production enhancement method) method and collect data. The second aim was to find a data-driven solution to predict salt production in different weather conditions in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India.

Research & Development Domains:

• Salt Production

• Renewable Energy Application in Salt Production

Candidates interested in pursuing research in these fields are encouraged to approach any of the researchers—Nirmal Parmar or Bipin Vyas—to inquire about possible openings or thesis topics.
