Puchanee Larpruenrudee

Ph.D. Candidate & Research Assistant

  • LinkedIn

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate and working as a research assistant at the University of Technology Sydney. For my PhD project, it is related to the enhancement of the heat transfer performance of hydrogen energy storage by using internal and external heat exchangers. It is basically about the metal hydride storage technique. My works are related to the analysis of airflow and particle deposition within the human respiratory tract, air quality analysis, spray cooling and film cooling on the turbine blades. These works are generally implemented based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis by using ANSYS Fluent.
