RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We are developing nanotechnology enabled platforms for enhancing cooling, sensing and energy storage (involving both experimental and computational studies). Coupling of thermal and hydrodynamic features during phase change (boiling, condensation) causes spatio-temporal fluctuations of surface temperature at the micro/nano-scales, which are termed as “cold-spots” and can transmit over 60-90% of the total heat transfer. Using silicon nanofins - cooling was enhanced by ~120%. Using Carbon-Nanotube (CNT) nanocoatings - cooling was enhanced by 60~300% by leveraging cold-spots and the “nano-fin” effect (which arises from a combination of surface adsorption of solvent molecules, enhanced surface area, Kapitza resistance/ interfacial thermal resistance and thermal inertia/ capacitance effects). Nano-thermocouples (Thin Film Thermocouples/ “TFT”) and diode temperature nano-sensors (DTS) integrated with the nanocoatings enabled the study of chaos/ fractal structures in boiling. Specific heat capacity was enhanced by 10~120% in solvents and solid matrices doped with minute concentration of nanoparticles (i.e., nanofluids and nanocomposites). This has applications in the energy technologies, such as: concentrated solar power/ CSP (thermal energy storage/ TES; thermo-chemical energy storage/ TCES), nuclear power, oil and gas exploration (deep drilling, reservoir engineering and management using nanotracers). Microchannel experiments using nanofluids showed that the nanoparticle precipitates behaved as nanofins (enhanced surface area) or caused fouling. These interfacial interactions (i.e., termed as the “nanofin effect”) were demonstrated to dominate heat transfer for micro/nano-scale transport phenomena.

DPN™ (Dip Pen Nanolithography™) leverages Scanning Probe Microscopy using microfluidics. Commercial microfluidic devices called “Inkwells™” were developed earlier. The next generation microfluidic devices are being developed for DPN (e.g., Fountain Pen Nanolithography, “centiwells”). The applications are in nano-catalysis, bio-nanotechnology, maskless-lithography and nano-sensors for homeland security, bio-security and using N/MEMS based nanocalorimeters for explosives detection (e.g., “nano-nose”/ “nano-tongue”). We invented a gasless process for synthesis of organic nanoparticles (e.g., CNT) under ambient conditions (i.e., in presence of air/ oxygen) and at synthesis temperature of 100 °C ~ 300 °C (US Patent 8470285, awarded in 2013).

Engineering Study Abroad Program: Brazil (ESAP:B) and India (ESAP:I),

Summer 2013, Summer 2014

o Summer 2014 (ENGR 482)

I organized the Engineering Summer Study Abroad Program (Brazil) from for Summer semester 2014 during July 19 – August 10. I co-developed and co-taught ENGR 482 with a faculty colleague from the Department of Philosophy. The class needed to be re-developed since the class materials were presented in a period of 3 weeks (what is normally covered in 14 weeks in Fall or Spring semester). This required class room instructions every day from Monday-Friday for 3 hours (two 1.5 hour sessions in the morning) and 2 hours of recitation session in the afternoon. Hence, to accommodate the revised schedule we devised several modifications to course curriculum which included student “hands-on” learning activities such as writing assignments and presentations on topics involving Engineering Ethics - that the students had to submit at the end of the semester. The program also involved cultural visits to local attractions (e.g., museums) and technical visits (e.g., visit to Embraco, the largest compressor manufacturer in Brazil that supplies ~30% of the compressors sold in the USA). The program activities were organized at two leading universities at Brazil which are ranked among the top 3 in Brazil and among the top 5 universities in the Latin Americas: Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (USFC), Florianopolis, SC; and Universdade Federal de Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, SP. I lead a group of 16 students from Texas A&M University (including 6 women) to Brazil and 2 undergraduate students from UFSC also attended my classes. The students from TAMU were from the Mechanical Engineering Department, Civil Engineering Department, Industrial Engineering Department, Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution Department, and Petroleum Engineering Department.

A workshop was organized at COPPE (Instituto Alberto Luiz Coimbra de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa de Engenharia, which is a research organization at UFRJ), on August 6 to celebrate the opening of a new campus of the Dwight Look College of Engineering, Texas A&M University. I presented my research and introduced the Mechanical Engineering Department to

more than 100 attendees at this workshop. The students participating in the ESAP:B also attended the opening ceremony.

o Summer 2013 (MEEN 221 and MEEN 315)

In Summer 2013, I taught 3 courses as a part of ESAP:B in which ~50 students (sophomores and juniors) from the College of Engineering - travelled with 4 faculty members from Mechanical Engineering (MEEN), Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECEN) and Petroleum Engineering (PETE). The students and faculty utilized the campus of Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) for the classes and housing nearby. The three courses I taught in ESAP:B were:

MEEN 221: Statics & Particle Dynamics (3 students from US/ TAMU and 1 student from Brazil/ PUC-Rio);

MEEN 315: Thermodynamics (13 students from US/TAMU); and MEEN 485: Directed Studies (5 students).

I utilized the services of Teaching Assistant (TA) – who was a Brazilian graduate student from PUC-Rio. The duration of these courses in regular Fall or Spring semester is 14-15 weeks and I had to squeeze the course material into 5 weeks as well as accompanying students for cultural/ historical visits and technical visits over the weekends (in one of the cultural visits we were on a bus for three days while checking into hotels only for the night stays). Hence, to accommodate the revised schedule I devised for the students to perform term group projects that they had to submit at the end of the semester. The projects involved design studies performed using Engineering Equation Solver (EES). In MEEN 221 the students performed design calculations for dynamic load on a bridge/ truss structure. In MEEN 315 the students performed design calculations for thermal management of electronic components.

Over the Summer 2013 semester I also supervised the activities of one woman (MEEN) undergraduate student participating in the ESAP:I program at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Kanpur) while simultaneously supervising the research activities of one male (international) undergraduate student from IIT-Kanpur working in my research group on a reciprocal basis for the ESAP:I program. In addition, I supervised the research activities of one minority (Hispanic) male undergraduate student from the University of Texas at Brownsville working in my research group for participating in the NSF-REU site at MEEN-TAMU during the Summer 2013 semester.

Debjyoti Banerjee received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (with minor in MEMS) in 1999 from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He received 13 US patents (~31 intellectual properties/IP, including: 8 US provisional, 5 EP and 5 WO applications) from his prior research work at Applied Biosystems (Life Technologies), NanoInk, Ciphergen Biosystems, Coventor, Tata (India) and Texas A & M University (TAMU). He joined TAMU as an assistant professor in 2005 and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2011. His research interests are in thermal-fluids sciences with emphasis on multiphase flows (boiling, condensation) for energy conservation/ energy conversion, MEMS, micro/nanofluidics, bio-nanotechnology (Dip-Pen Nanolithography/DPN, explosives sensing using nanocalorimetry, Step-Flash-Imprint nano-Lithography/SFIL) and renewable energy (solar thermal energy storage using nanofluids). At Texas A&M his sponsored research projects (with academic and industrial collaborators) exceeds $19 million, enabling 11 PhD and 17 MS students to graduate under his supervision, yielding more than 100 archival publications. He received various awards: “Amlan-Sen Best Mechanical Engineering Student Award (Endowment)”, “J.C. Bose National Science Talent Scholar”, “ASME-HTD Best Paper Award (2001)”, “TEES Select Young Faculty Award(2009)”.
