Authors are invited to submit abstracts to the 14th International Heat Transfer Conference, to be held in Washington DC in August, 2010, under the auspices of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The conference is overseen by the Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences (AIHTC), which represents some 25 professional engineering societies active worldwide in thermal science and engineering. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for the exposure and exchange of ideas, methods, and results in heat and mass transfer.
The IHTC-13, which was held in Sydney, Australia, was a tremendous success, with over 800 participants from 55 countries. Over 1000 participants are expected for IHTC-14, which will include keynote lectures, poster and panel sessions, professional development courses, and exhibits of heat transfer equipment, services, and publications. The conference will consist of keynote talks, posters, panels, and open forum sessions. Review of abstracts and full-length papers will be performed by the scientific committee from the author's country, after which papers from all countries will be assigned sessions. The following countries have representatives on the AIHTC:
In addition to the fundamentals of thermal phenomena and traditional thermal applications, the 14th IHTC is expected to address the emerging domains of thermal transport in nano-materials, bio-systems, power generation, microsystems, energy conversion devices, aerospace, transportation, and environmental systems. Selected papers from the conference will be published in special volumes of the Journal of Heat Transfer or in other ASME Journals.
Nominations for Panel and Open Forum sessions are currently being accepted. Send the Panel/Open Forum title, organizer name, and a short description to Professor Avi Bar-Cohen (abc@umd.edu).
