Research on Alternative Materials to use in Evaporative Cooler (Aashi Kotecha, Columbia University)

Evaporative cooling is a powerful technique that utilizes the natural process of water evaporation to lower temperatures effectively. By harnessing the principle that water absorbs heat during evaporation, this cooling method offers a sustainable and cost-efficient solution. It is especially relevant for farmers, as it enables them to enhance crop shelf life and minimize wastage.

COLLABORATION WITH UMASS

The department was recently visited by staff and students from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst led by Dr. Karina. This was part of an ongoing collaboration through which they are helping with the establishment of the Environmental engineering lab. During this visit they gave seminars to our students
