Together, M.M. Sharma, R.A. Mashelkar and V.D.Mehta authored a research paper, titled ‘Mass Transfer in Plate Columns’ that was published in British Chemical Engineering journal in 1969. However, strangely, the official website of R.A. Mashelkar and Publication of Fellows page of [[Indian Academy of Sciences]] does not seem to support the last authorship of V.D. Mehta. | Together, M.M. Sharma, R.A. Mashelkar and V.D.Mehta authored a research paper, titled ‘Mass Transfer in Plate Columns’ that was published in [[British]] Chemical Engineering journal in 1969.
