About the Author:
Goteti Satyanarayana obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. He started his career as scientist in Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Thiruvananthapuram. He worked in both Propellant and Propulsion Divisions of VSSC and was involved in the design of liquid rocket engines. Later, he shifted to multinational companies to serve and hold different positions. His work experience includes design of thermal equipments like heat exchangers, metal joining and renewable energy. As a professor of Mechanical Engineering, he taught aerospace and thermal engineering subjects to graduate and postgraduate students.
