Thermal Engineering Laboratory
Mechanical Engineering Department
Dr. Amanie Abdelmessih received her Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater. Her Ph.D. thesis is in the area of internal flows in heat transfer. Based on experimental research she developed an empirical correlation for the prediction of internal mixed convective flows.
Work Experience
Dr. Abdelmessih has teaching, industrial, and research experience.
Prior to joining Saint Martin’s in 1997, Dr. Abdelmessih taught numerous courses
in several institutes of higher education.

In addition to her extensive industrial experience in the paper industry, she
spent a summer at Deutch Company, where she co-investigated a high retention
plastic bonding process.
At NASA, Dryden Flight Research Center, she spent numerous summers experimentally and numerically studying high temperature black body cavity/ water cooled heat flux gages, heat transfer environmental characterization of high temperature furnace calibrator. While at Marshall Space Flight Center, she spent two summers experimentally investigating transient heat conduction during welding for application with the main shuttle tank and space station. For her research contributions she received numerous certificates of recognition. Also, she has performed research on reflux condensers at Argonne National Laboratory, and the micro-absorption cycle at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
