Group Travel to Participate in the Fourth ISHMT-ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference and Expand Research Interaction, January 2000, Pune, India

这笔赠款将特别支持美国科学家参加2000年1月在印度浦那举行的第四届ISHMT-ASME热质传递会议。美国与会者将作为小组成员讨论研究和教育计划，参加与会议同时举行的特别研讨会，并介绍最先进的审查。会议将为综合已开发的知识库和确定今后研究中要处理的关键问题提供一个论坛。在热科学和技术领域，印度是领先的亚洲国家之一，其科学家开展的研究对发展中国家特别重要，也是国际社会感兴趣的。会议将包括工业研究、新兴热技术凝固、计算流体力学以及材料加工和制造等方面的研讨会。预计将有400人参加，其中40人来自美国，50人来自欧洲。

The grant will partically support attendence of U.S. scientists at the Fourth ISHMT-ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference in Pune, India in January 2000. The American attendees will contribute as panelists discussing research and educational programs, participate in special workshops which will be held in conjunction with the conference, and present state- of- the- art reviews. The conference will provide a forum for the synthesis of the knowledge base that has been developed and in isolating key issues to be addressed in future research. In the field of thermal science and technologies, India is one of the leading Asian countries and research performed by its scientists is of particular relevance to the developing nations and of interest to the global community. The conference will include workshops held off side on industrial research emerging thermal technologies solidification, computational fluid mechanics, and materials processing and manufacturing. Participation is expected to be of the order of 400, with 40 US and 50 European attendees.
