NİHAL UĞURLUBİLEK

Assoc. Prof. NİHAL UĞURLUBİLEK is affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Eskisehir Osmangazi University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. She holds an MSc (1997) and PhD (2007) in Energy-Thermodynamics from the same university, following her undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from Anadolu University (1992).

Research Interests: Her work focuses on Energy systems, Heat and Mass Transfer mechanisms, Heating and Refrigeration technologies, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Thermal Systems optimization. She has extensively studied heat exchanger performance, turbulent flow dynamics, and natural/laminar convection in complex geometries.

Publications: With 28 indexed publications, her research spans numerical and experimental analyses of heat transfer in mini-channels, finned heat exchangers, and domical roof structures. Key trends include computational modeling of thermal systems, turbulence model validation, and performance optimization of compact heat exchangers.
