Heat and Mass Transfer Conference Set for Next Month in India

Next month, ASME will co-sponsor the Indian Society for Heat and Mass Transfer (ISHMT)-ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference. It is intended to bring together leading experts from across the globe to discuss and share their visions on heat and mass transfer research and development activities.

The conference will take place from Jan. 3–5, 2008, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) College of Engineering Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh, India. The meeting, which will be hosted by ASME's Heat Transfer Division, is being held with the support of the JNTU College of Engineering and the conference's major corporate sponsor, Intel Corp.

The Heat and Mass Transfer Conference will provide an opportunity for exchanging information among researchers working in academic institutions and R&D organizations to present and publish their research findings in the conference proceedings and to interact with the experts.

More than 500 leading researchers from academia, R&D organizations and industries from various countries are expected to participate in this conference. The program will cover all areas of heat and mass transfer, including thermal radiation, conduction and conjugate problems; chemical and food processing; convective heat and mass transfer; transport processes in bioengineering and biological systems; multiphase heat transfer; thermal management of electronic equipment; computational methods; clean energy technology and environmental heat transfer; instrumentation and measurement techniques; cryogenics; and heat and mass transfer equipment and augmentation techniques.

Other areas to be explored will include solar thermal energy; spray atomization and combustion processes; hydrogen energy; nuclear heat transfer; thermal energy storage system; thermodynamic analysis and energy optimization; micro channel heat transfer; manufacturing and materials processing; nano heat transfer; heat pipe theory and applications; heat transfer in fires and fire mitigation; transport properties; and heat transfer in emerging areas.

Registration for attendees outside of South Asia is $320 for ASME members, $370 for nonmembers, and $120 for students. For registration prices in South Asian countries, visit the conference Web site, http://jntuceh.ac.in/hmtc/registration.htm.
