Preface
This book presents the selected research papers on recent trends in thermal and
fluid sciences from International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (INCOME-
2021), which was organized by Netaji Subhas University of Technology, New Delhi,
India, from November 25 to 26, 2021.
The conference was aimed at providing a platform to the researchers and engi-
neers to share and discuss various aspects of mechanical engineering and its appli-
cations. The conference provided an excellent opportunity for the presentation of
new inventions, discoveries, implementations, improvements, product innovations
and manufacturing techniques. The conference was a right place for the exchange of
new ideas and transfer of knowledge. The INCOME-2021 was a good platform for
interaction between industry and academic professionals.
The conference was initially planned in offline mode. But it was held in mixed
mode due to COVID-19 restrictions at many places. A few papers were presented at
the conference venue, and a few papers were presented online.
About 60 research papers were presented during 2 days conference. The
researchers from industry and academics shared the most recent studies, held discus-
sions and exchanged ideas on several practical topics. The conference provided an
opportunity for collaboration among academicians and practitioners. The recent
developments and innovations in various fields of mechanical engineering were
also shared through keynote lectures. The book covers the thermal and fluid topics
in mechanical engineering areas such as combustion and biofuels, heat and mass
transfer, refrigeration and air conditioning, fluid–structure interaction, flow control,
aerodynamic, aeroacoustics, turbulence and instabilities, rheology and complex
fluids, turbomachinery and thermodynamics. This book connects together various
topics of thermal and fluid sciences and will be beneficial for industry as well as for
academic professionals working in this field.
The editors acknowledge all the authors for their contribution to this volume. We
sincerely express our profound gratitude to the candid support extended by, Netaji
Subhas University of Technology, New Delhi. The editors also thank faculty and
staff of the department of mechanical engineering for their enthusiastic support to
accomplish this goal. We would also like to thank all those who directly or indirectly

Chancellor, Dr. J. P. Saini for his encouragements and blessings. Last but not the least;
we are grateful to the publishers of this book for publishing the selected proceedings
of INCOME-2021. The editors welcome the readers’ suggestions for improvement
in this book.
