Luca Doretti
Full Professor
Luca Doretti, graduated in Mechanical Engineering, Ph.D. in “Energy Management”, is a Full Professor of Applied Thermodynamics and he teaches four different courses. Since 2013, he works for the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Eng. (ICEA) at the University of Padova (Italy). His research activities (both experimental and theoretical) are mainly concerned with enhanced heat transfer during two-phase processes for refrigeration applications (refrigeration, air-conditioning, heat pump, absorption cycle, electronic cooling, and so on), with thermodynamics of inverse cycles and with thermophysical properties of refrigerant fluids. A specific topic of his scientific research is dedicated to experimental heat transfer in metal foams with waxes or PCM and nano-fluids application and to PCM and concrete mixtures for building or renewable energies applications. Luca Doretti is the author or co-author of more than 120 papers on international journals and congress proceedings.
