Dr. Rochish Thaokar from the Department Of Chemical Engineering I.I.T. Powai, Mumbai delivered the expert lecture on the topic “ The Wonderful World of Electrohydrodynamics: Challenges to Chemical Engineers”, under the aegis of Smt. Bahinabai Laxminarayan Lecture series conducted in Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, Nagpur on 29 March 2014.

It was very enriching experience to hear from him different applications of electrohydrodynamics. He explained in detail how petrol can be obtained in purest form, from crude   petroleum refinery. Application of electric field to the crude separates water and petrol by forming uniform suspension. One more important application is, whenever electric field is applied to thick oil then water molecules in oil breaks due to field effect and is separated efficiently. Electric field also sometimes makes water molecules in oil to collide and settle down. This way it was very full of knowledge experience to know in detail from Dr.Thaokar about elctrohydrodynamics and its wide applications.
