PAGLIARINI Giorgio

Born in 1951, graduated summa cum laude in Nuclear Engineering in a.y. 1974/75 at the University of Bologna. Researcher in 1980 and Associate Professor at the University of Bologna in 1987. Full professor of Applied Physics at the University of Parma since 1994. He is author or coauthor of over 100 scientific publications.
In the field of heat and mass transfer, he analysed conjugate heat transfer with experimental, analytical and numerical techniques. While considering both Newtonian and non Newtonian fluids, he experimentally analysed the effects of fluid property variation with temperature. Then he studied axial diffusion effects of both heat and momentum in laminar pipe flow. Both by experimental and analytical techniques, he investigated the efficiency of fins, also including the contact thermal resistance at the fin base. Besides, he experimentally investigated convective heat transfer in corrugated wall ducts, with particular reference to non Newtonian and to variable property fluids. Moreover he applied infrared thermography to the solution of the inverse heat conduction problem aimed to the estimation of the convective heat transfer distribution.
