معرفی
Dr. Luke McElroy is an Adjunct Research Fellow at Curtin University's WASM School of Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. He is based at the Curtin Perth campus in the Engineering Pavilion, Room 430. His research focuses on chemical engineering processes, thermodynamics, and particle dynamics, with applications in energy systems, environmental engineering, and industrial process optimization.
Dr. McElroy's work spans gas recovery (e.g., helium from natural gas), high-pressure thermal conductivity measurements of gas mixtures, and soft-sensor technologies for milling processes. His contributions include advancing numerical simulations of particle dynamics in rotating drums and stirred mills using discrete element modeling (DEM). These studies address critical challenges in resource recovery, energy storage, and industrial process automation.
His publications demonstrate a sustained focus on interdisciplinary applications of thermodynamics and computational methods to real-world engineering systems. Despite no listed awards or grants in the profile, his collaborative projects involve co-authors from academia and industry, highlighting applied research interests.
While no formal advisees are listed, his involvement in multi-author research suggests mentorship roles in collaborative projects. His affiliation with the Office of the Provost indicates potential administrative or strategic roles in university initiatives.
