Thesis Title: Numerical Study for Enhanced Boiling Heat Transfer by the Multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Methods

This doctoral program aims to develop effective techniques for addressing the challenges associated with multiphase flow during phase-change heat transfer (boiling heat transfer). Furthermore, this study contributes to the development and expansion of the use of multiphase lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs) and fluid structure interaction tools in some innovative research areas in order to discover their capabilities and challenges. The project consists of the following key components:

• Discovered the effect of flow-induced vibration on subcritical flow boiling heat transfer in microchannels, discovering significant improvements through various operating and design parameters using 2D numerical simulations (multiphase pseudopotential LBM).
• Explored the impact of concave surface morphology on thermal performance in multiphase spray cooling systems, giving a detailed comparison study for different surface morphologies compared to the concave design, with investigations conducted via 3D numerical simulations (multiphase pseudopotential LBM).
• Expanded the use of the conservative phase field-based LBM tracking model to achieve high-density ratio channel flow boiling, demonstrating its effectiveness for analysing high-powered thermal phase change situations through 2D numerical simulations.

Master of Science in Mechanical Power Engineering, Renewable Energy

University: Helwan University, Cairo (Egypt)

Thesis Title: Development of Efficient System for Cooling High Concentration Multi Junction Photovoltaic Cells, in Hot Climate, Using Hybrid Stepwise Microchannels

I accomplished a comprehensive theoretical study using ANSYS CFD (Fluent), aimed at improving the microchannel cooling system of high-concentration multi-junction photovoltaic (HCMJPV) cells. This research focused on enhancing cooling systems for high-concentration multi-junction photovoltaics, a promising renewable energy source, and led to the publication of numerous papers in international and local journals. My Master's thesis was awarded the "Best Scientific Thesis in Engineering and Technological Science" accolade for the academic year 2020-2021 by Helwan University.

Postgraduate Courses: Advanced Fluid Mechanics, Advanced Thermodynamics, Measurement and Control Devices, New Trends of Combustion Engines, Nuclear Power Stations, Design of Solar Power Stations, Firefighting, Theory of Modern Irrigation, Computer Applications, and Economics of Power Generation.

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Power Engineering (BSc)

University: Helwan University - Faculty of Engineering, Cairo (Egypt)

I graduated with an "Excellent" cumulative grade and honor distinction, ranking second in my college. My graduation project consisted of two major components: the detailed design steps and calculations for the central air conditioning system of the "Atlantis" hotel and a college building, and the design of a crude oil transmission pipeline system between Suez and Cairo, both of which received an "Excellent" grade.
