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

描述：本提案要求为美国参加将于1995年12月在印度芒格洛尔举行的印度热质传递学会（ISHMT）第二届会议提供旅费支持。印度热科学中心是印度促进热科学这一领域研究的中心机构。传热传质在制造业和工业过程中起着非常重要的作用。理解工业过程中存在的现象对于设备、组件和过程效率的优化设计至关重要。会议的目的是促进这一快速发展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，并进一步提高美印合作的现有水平。与会者将有机会讨论两国主要感兴趣领域的最新技术，并参观印度领先的研究中心，如印度理工学院、印度科学研究所和班加罗尔国家航空实验室。研究范围：热科学有望在未来十年的国家关键技术发展中发挥重要作用。除了国家的努力，还有相当大的努力使热科学的研究和技术发展国际化，特别是在传热和传质领域。印度是亚洲在传热传质方面进行重要研究的主要国家之一。会议的组织是为了允许潜在合作者之间的对话和重点研究建议的发展。考虑到每个国家在该领域的活动水平，美印合作目前远低于其潜力。＊＊＊

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. ***
