Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Electron

His primary areas of investigation include Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Thermal conductivity, Porous medium and Phonon. His work on Thermal diffusivity, Mass transfer and Sherwood number as part of general Thermodynamics study is frequently linked to Energy source, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. In his study, Proton exchange membrane fuel cell and Chemical engineering is inextricably linked to Porosity, which falls within the broad field of Thermal diffusivity.

Massoud Kaviany has included themes like Boiling and Thermal in his Heat transfer study. His Thermal conductivity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Amorphous solid, Crystal, Silicon and Physical chemistry. His Phonon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Thermal conduction, Mean free path, Dispersion and Atmospheric temperature range.

His most cited work include:

  • Effective diffusivity and water-saturation distribution in single- and two-layer PEMFC diffusion medium (750 citations)
  • Pool-boiling CHF enhancement by modulated porous-layer coating: theory and experiment (362 citations)
  • Ab initio and molecular dynamics predictions for electron and phonon transport in bismuth telluride (287 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Thermodynamics, Mechanics, Heat transfer, Phonon and Thermal conductivity. His studies in Thermodynamics integrate themes in fields like Combustion and Porous medium.
