YUNUS A. CENGEL
JOHN M. CIMBALA
Yunus A. Çengel is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at
the University of Nevada, Reno. He received his B.S. in mechanical
engineering
from Istanbul Technical University and his M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical
engineering from North Carolina State University. His research areas are
renewable energy, desalination, exergy analysis, heat transfer enhancement,
radiation heat transfer, and energy conservation. He served as the director
of
the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at the University of Nevada, Reno,
from 1996 to 2000. He has led teams of engineering students to numerous
manufacturing facilities in Northern Nevada and California to do industrial
assessments, and has prepared energy conservation, waste minimization,
and
productivity enhancement reports for them.
Dr. Çengel is the coauthor of the widely adopted textbook
Thermodynamics:
An Engineering Approach, 4th edition (2002), published by McGraw-Hill.
He is also the author of the textbook Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach,
2nd
edition (2003), and the coauthor of the textbook Fundamentals of Thermal-
Fluid Sciences, 2nd edition (2005), both published by McGraw-Hill. Some
of
his textbooks have been translated to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish,
Turkish, Italian, and Greek.
Dr. Çengel is the recipient of several outstanding teacher awards, and he
has received the ASEE Meriam/Wiley Distinguished Author Award for
John M. Cimbala is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at The
Pennsylvania
State Univesity, University Park. He received his B.S. in Aerospace
Engineering from Penn State and his M.S. in Aeronautics from the California
Institute of Technology (CalTech). He received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics from
CalTech in 1984 under the supervision of Professor Anatol Roshko, to whom
he will be forever grateful. His research areas include experimental and
computational
fluid mechanics and heat transfer, turbulence, turbulence modeling,
turbomachinery, indoor air quality, and air pollution control. During the academic
year 1993–94, Professor Cimbala took a sabbatical leave from the University
and worked at NASA Langley Research Center, where he advanced his
knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and turbulence modeling.
Dr. Cimbala is the coauthor of the textbook Indoor Air Quality Engineering:
Environmental Health and Control of Indoor Pollutants (2003), published
by Marcel-Dekker, Inc. He has also contributed to parts of other books, and is
the author or co-author of dozens of journal and conference papers. More
information can be found at www.mne.psu.edu/cimbala.
Professor Cimbala is the recipient of several outstanding teaching awards
and views his book writing as an extension of his love of teaching. He is a
member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Society for

PSYCHROMETRICS – A. BHATIA
A. Bhatia
Mr. A. Bhatia is an online PDH course provider of continuing education courses for professional engineers.
 
Mr. Bhatia is a graduate engineer with over 20 years of extensive experience in electro-mechanical engineering,
procurement and construction industry. He has been involved in setting up grass root projects from zero to
commissioning, interfacing with architects, machinery suppliers, vendors for projects nationally and globally. He
received 4-years bachelors' degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited Delhi university in India.
 
Mr. Bhatia specializes in conceptual design, optimization studies, energy efficient and environmentally responsible
system designs for Infrastructure facilities, Green Buildings, Oil & Gas facilities, Power Plants and Metal & Mining.
His core strengths are in the following areas:
 
- HVAC, Loss Prevention and Plumbing
- Energy and Environmental Conservation
- Utility Systems (compressed air, water treatment, cooling, power generation, boiler systems, plumbing, etc.)
- Mechanical Equipment (chillers, fans, pumps, conveyors, EOT cranes, DG sets, welding, machining, heat transfer,
etc.)
- Electrical and Control Systems (motors, power factor, short circuiting, transformers, AC/DC circuits, etc.)
 
In his current role, Mr. Bhatia provides consulting services to a number of facilities such as airports, commercial
buildings, chemical, biomedical and pharmaceutical facilities, power generation, oil & gas, manufacturing, consumer
products. Prior to this, he has worked with United Nations led program on energy conservation and clean development
mechanism (CDM) jointly with renowned international experts specialized in their sectors. He has vast international
experience on various global projects all over the world in US, UK, Australia, Canada and Middle East.
