CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering

Dr. R. P. Chhabra is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology – Kanpur. He received his M.Sc. degree from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and his Ph.D. from Monash University, both in Chemical Engineering. Dr. Chhabra is a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Science (India), and the Indian Academy of Engineering. His current research interests include hydrodynamics of non-Newtonian fluid-particle systems; multiphase flow in pipes and packed beds; interaction between non-linear properties of fluids and shapes of particles; and the modeling of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow in fibrous media.
