The Examination Committee was composed of the following members:
Prof. Dr. Saad Mohammed Jaleel – Chair
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Iyad Mahmood Salman – Member
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haitham Kamil Dawood – Member
Prof. Dr. Waleed Mohammed Abd – Member and Supervisor
The study aimed to conduct a numerical analysis of the hydrothermal performance of non-Newtonian liquid flow in concentric and eccentric annular cylinders, as well as to perform optimization to determine the best design among several alternatives, by employing the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) integrated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
The defense was attended by the Dean of the College, Prof. Dr. Ameer Abdulrahman Hilal, the Associate Dean for Scientific Affairs, Prof. Dr. Mohammed Abd Ahmed, the Head of the Department, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Khaldoon Fadhel Braitha, along with several faculty members and postgraduate students of the department.
