Graduate Research Assistant 

American University of Beirut (AUB)

​

  • ​Developed a thermo-fluid model to design and optimize a dew point indirect evaporative cooler (DPIEC) using MATLAB.

  • Modeled a poultry house (space model) where the DPIEC is applied using finite volume method (FVM). 

  • Developed computational fluid dynamics simulations for the space model using ANSYS-Fluent.

  • Fabricated experimental setup and conducted experiments to validate the model. 

  • Analyzed the system performance and compared it to a conventional direct evaporative cooling system.
