Advances in New Heat Transfer Fluids

Minea Alina Adriana is full professor at Technical University “Gheorghe Asachi” from Iasi, ROMANIA. She received the dr.habil. title in 2013 with a thesis on Heat Transfer Enhancement for reducing Energy Consumptions. Her current research interests are in heat transfer for industrial equipments, and nanofluids for heat transfer enhancement techniques. She is currently a member in Regional Board of Editors Journal of Thermal Science, member in Editorial Board MEHTA Press: Journal of Engineering, as well.
