MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641064311 A) filed by M. Siva Sankari; Vishal; and Ajay Kumar, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 21, for 'bioconvection-based thermal and mass transport system.'
Inventor(s) include M. Siva Sankari; Vishal; Chandra Shekhar Nishad; Ajay Kumar; Ramakanta Meher; Mustaque Alam; and Ritik Kumar Dewangan.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a bioconvection-based thermal and mass transport system (100) and method (300) configured to facilitate thermal transport and mass transport within a fluid-based transport environment. The system (100) includes a flow domain (102) configured to accommodate a fluid medium (104), an inlet section (106), an outlet section (108), motile microorganisms (110), transport regions (112), flow-regulating structures (114), surface modification structures (116), and flow-directing elements (118). The motile microorganisms (110) generate self-organized bioconvective flow structures, including convection cells, vortex structures, circulation loops, and descending plumes within the fluid medium (104). The generated circulation behaviour supports fluid mixing, transport redistribution, and reduction of thermal boundary layer thickness and concentration boundary layer formation within the flow domain."
