Group Travel to attend the Second ISHMT-ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference and to Generate Cooperative Research Projects, December 1995, India

9507551 Jaluria描述：这项提案请求美国参加将于1995年12月在印度芒格洛尔举行的印度热量和质量传递学会第二次会议的旅行支持。ISHMT是印度促进这一热科学领域研究的节点机构。热质传递在制造业和工业过程中起着非常重要的作用。了解工业过程背后的现象对于优化设备、部件和过程的效率是至关重要的。会议的目的是促进这一迅速发展的领域的技术信息交流，确定工业和研究机构之间的合作领域，并进一步提高美国-印度合作的现有水平。与会者将有机会讨论两国最感兴趣的领域的最先进技术，并参观印度理工学院、印度科学研究所和班加罗尔国家航空实验室等印度领先的研究中心。范围：预计热科学将在未来十年内在国家关键技术的发展中发挥重要作用。除了国家的努力外，还有相当大的努力使热科学的研究和技术发展国际化，特别是在热和传质领域。印度是亚洲在热质传递方面进行重大研究的主要国家之一。组织这次会议是为了让潜在的合作者之间进行对话，并制定有重点的研究建议。考虑到每个国家在这一领域的活动水平，美印合作目前远远低于其潜力。***

9507551 Jaluria Description: This proposal requests travel support for US participation at the Second Conference of the Indian Society for Heat and Mass Transfer (ISHMT) to be held December, 1995 in Mangalore, India. ISHMT is the nodal agency in India for stimulating research in this area of thermal sciences. Heat and mass transfer play a very important role in manufacturing industries and in industrial processes. Understanding of the phenomena that underlie industrial processes is essential for the optimal design of equipment, components, and efficiency of processes. The objectives of the conference are to promote the exchange of technical information in this rapidly evolving field, to identify areas of cooperation between industry and research institutions, and to further enhance the existing level of US-Indo collaborations. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the state-of-the-art in areas of prime interest in both countries and to visit India's leading research centers such as the IITs, the Indian Institute of Science and the National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore. Scope: Thermal sciences are expected to play an important role in the development of national critical technologies in the next decade. In addition to the national effort, there is considerable effort to internationalize research and technology development in thermal sciences, particularly in the area of heat and mass transfer. India is one of the leading countries in Asia that conduct significant research in heat and mass transfer. The conference is organized to allow for dialogue among potential collaborators and the development of focused research proposals. US-Indo collaboration is currently well below its potential considering the level of activity in the field in each country. ***
