Date: May 6-9, 2014         Venue: Beijing, China

Purpose and Topics

Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Royal Society of UK, the first International Heat Transfer Symposium will be held in North China Electric Power University, Beijing, China. The symposium aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars from all over the world to exchange and share their experiences and research results about heat transfer and the related applications, and discuss practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted.

Special topics include but not limited to the following:

• Micro/nano scale heat transfer: Targeted for the performance improvement of high power density energy saving devices/systems such as light-emitting diodes (LED) and other miniaturized systems, subtopics include single-phase, multi-phase (boiling and condensation) heat transfer in micro/nano scale, radiation heat transfer in micro/nano scale, fundamental micro/nano scale heat transfer, novel heat transfer devices, experiments and numerical simulations of micro/nano flow and heat transfer, nature-induced heat transfer phenomena and applications, etc.
• Heat transfer in energy and power systems: Targeted for the increment of the energy utilization efficiency, subtopics include flow and heat transfer issues in various heat exchangers, heat transfer enhancement, heat transfer coupling with material corrosion and chemical reactions, heat transfer for low grade energy utilization, heat transfer in chemical and nuclear reactor systems, etc.
• Heat transfer in renewable energy utilizations: Targeted for the efficiency, safety and investment cost improvement, subtopics include flow and heat transfer in solar receivers, heat transfer in solar thermal-chemical reactors, various heat exchangers for renewable energy utilizations, coupled radiation and convective heat transfer, experiments and numerical simulations of heat transfer in renewable energy systems, etc.

• Publication

All conference papers presented at this symposium will be included in a CD-ROM provided for all participants. Selected papers will be recommended to Applied Thermal Engineering, International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Journal of Bionic Engineering and Chinese Science Bulletin for consideration of publication. These papers will be indexed by SCI.
