Seyhan Onbaşıoğlu

Seyhan Onbaşıoğlu is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), actively engaged in thermal engineering research with current projects extending to 2025. Affiliated with ITU's Ayazağa Campus in Istanbul, Turkey, the profile shows ongoing research leadership including principal investigator roles in multiple national projects.

Research interests center on heat transfer enhancement, two-phase flow phenomena, and thermal system optimization, with fingerprint analysis indicating strong expertise in heat transfer (100%), flow distribution (94%), and experimental investigation (83%). Key focus areas include nucleate boiling, ice sublimation dynamics, and energy-efficient appliance design.

Publication trends since 2016 emphasize experimental validation of thermal systems, with significant contributions to refrigeration technology, domestic appliance efficiency, and microchannel heat transfer. Recent works (2023-2025) increasingly integrate numerical modeling with experimental verification, particularly in suction muffler design and ice sublimation under humidity effects.
