Professor Mohsen Sharifpur is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology at the University of Pretoria (UP), South Africa. He completed his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, his Master of Engineering in Nuclear Engineering, and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal-Fluid).
His research area includes mathematical modelling, thermal fluid behaviour and stability of nanofluids, improvement of heat transfer by nanofluids, convective multiphase flow, computational fluid dynamics, and Fluid Dynamics from Nanoscale to Universe scale. He established a Nanofluid Research Laboratory at UP in 2010, which is one of the most active and productive nanofluids research laboratories in Africa. He is an innovative thinker and based on fluid dynamics, constructal law, nature and patterns in nature, and cosmology data, he invented a new general and multidiscipline theory as “source and Sink Theory”. His general-multidiscipline theory has the potential to describe the early universe better than previous theories. The like to his new theory with simple words for the public which has announced by the University of Pretoria is https://www.up.ac.za/news/post_2807900-in-my-opinion-up-professor-proposes-new-theory-for-understanding-the-universe-that-challenges-big-bang-theory. He belives, his theory is the case of future.
Professor Sharifpur has authored or co-authored of more than 120 peer-reviewed articles (published in accredited journals) and international conference papers. At UP, he has acted as supervisor for several post-doctoral researchers, PhD and Master’s students.
Professor Sharifpur also acts as a reviewer for notable accredited journals and prestigious international conferences. He is registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa as a professional engineer and received a C2 rating scientist for his research activities from the National Research Founds (NRF) of South Africa in 2016.
