  • 1997 - Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK)

Overview

William A. Wakeham is affiliated with Imperial College London in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of engineering and chemical engineering, with a particular focus on several subfields including biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, fluid flow and transfer processes, atomic and molecular physics, and catalysis.

Their scientific contributions center on key topics such as phase equilibria and thermodynamics, phase change materials research, thermodynamic properties of mixtures, acoustic wave resonator technologies, mechanical and optical resonators, heat transfer and boiling studies, as well as geothermal energy systems and applications.

Wakeham has frequently published in the International Journal of Thermophysics, contributing seven papers to this venue. Other publication venues include Separation and Purification Technology, Fluids, Pure and Applied Chemistry, and Physics World.

Among their recent papers are:

  • "Correct Use of the Transient Hot-Wire Technique for Thermal Conductivity Measurements on Fluids," 2023, International Journal of Thermophysics
  • "Analysis of hybrid separation schemes for levulinic acid separation by process intensification and assessment of thermophysical properties impact," 2023, Separation and Purification Technology
  • "Thermal Conductivity of Ionic Liquids and IoNanofluids. Can Molecular Theory Help?", 2021, Fluids
  • "Accurate Measurements of the Thermal Conductivity of n-Docosane, n-Tetracosane, 1,6-Hexanediol, and 1,8-Octanediol in the Solid and Liquid Phases," 2023, International Journal of Thermophysics
  • "Accurate Measurements of the Thermal Conductivity of Hexadecan-1-ol and Octadecan-1-ol in the Solid and Liquid Phases," 2022, International Journal of Thermophysics

They have collaborated frequently with several researchers, including M. J. Assael, Konstantinos D. Antoniadis, Danai Velliadou, C. A. Nieto de Castro, and Andreana N. Assimopoulou.

Recognition of their professional standing includes their election as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK) in 1997.
