Guided 3 full-time research scholars for completing their Ph.D successfully and currently guiding two research scholars.
Assisted and facilitated more than 20 external PhD students from various institutions across the country to complete their doctoral degree.
Actively participating in industrial consulting activities related to active and passive electronic cooling systems for various engineering and space systems.
Dr. Brusly, a simple and easily approachable personality, hails from a small village in the southern tip of India. He usually works with a group of Ph.D aspirants across the nation, researchers from industry and academia, and researchers from national and international universities.
Dr. Brusly is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS), Coimbatore. He received his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the same Institute in 2014. Then he pursued his Postdoctoral research in the Thermo fluids Research Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa.
Dr.Brusly has been working on electronic cooling (in space and ground applications), renewable energy systems, drying systems, and heat flux sensor technology etc… Some of the key highlights and strengths of research activities are given below
Expertise in developing various types of heat pipes including Pulsating heat pipes, Loop heat pipe, Thermosyphons, Flexible heat pipes, anodized heat pipes and Vapour chambers for cooling applications.
Investigated the effects of magnetic field on the thermophysical and heat transfer properties of morphologically controlled magnesium ferrite nano fluids for solar heating and many other applications.
Developed a heat flux sensor based on heat pipe as a heat sink using Fourier law of heat conduction for reactor applications. The length of the device can be modified to make measurements from a long distance.
Numerically modeled the heat pipe having nanoparticle coated screen wick structure. Velocity, pressure and temperature distributions are calculated.
Developed coatings made of nanoparticle, metal, metal oxide, oxide, anodized and bio inspired hybrid coatings for heat transfer enhancement in heat pipes
Expertise in developing, characterizing and measuring the charging and discharging of heat from the electronic components using nanoparticle-infused PCMs
Testimonials of our project students from India, Overseas and external doctoral candidates from other Institutions are provided in this section.
The core of my mission is to help researchers to succeed in completing their Ph.D., and I guide them to bring more outcomes from the research activities that are jointly conducted.
Over the last ten years, almost 20 external Ph.D. students have completed their Ph.D. under my guidance.
