Mohammad Naraghi

Professor, Mechanical Engineering

Dr. Naraghi engaged in research in the areas of thermal analysis of regeneratively cooled rocket engines*, radiation heat transfer and renewable energy.  He worked closely with NASA Lewis Research Center (NASA Glenn), through research grants and some fellowships, to develop a comprehensive Rocket Thermal Evaluation code (RTE).  Because of this code, he received a certificate of recognition from NASA for the creative development of technically significant software which has been accepted and approved for dissemination to the public by NASA. Since the first release of RTE through NASA's COSMIC library (July 1991), Dr. Naraghi worked closely with NASA as well as many Aerospace companies to expand the capabilities of the code. 

His research in radiation heat transfer resulted in several novel methods for the analysis of radiative transport problems. References are made to those methods in several radiation heat transfer textbooks. He has also developed a comprehensive radiation heat transfer model for crystal growth processes, primarily, Czchralski crystal growth processes. His recent work on green buildings resulted in a patent entitled a novel seasonally selective building façade.
