AbstractCTS-0422959John C. Chen, Lehigh UniversityThis proposal seeks financial support to partially underwrite the travel expenses of US academic faculty attending the XI International Conference on Fluidization, scheduled for May 1-8, 2004, in Ischia, Italy. The full title of the conference is XI International Conference on Fluidization: Present and Future for Fluidization Engineering. It is the latest in a premier series of conferences dealing with technologies for handling and processing of solid particulates, dating back to 1975. The Conference is sponsored by Engineering Conferences International (EGI), a not-for-profit successor program to the United Engineering Foundation Conferences Program. Intellectual Merit The focus of the Conference is on fluidization as a technology to accomplish multiphase contacting and reactions in the materials, process, pharmaceutical and energy industries. The phenomenon of fluidizing solid particles with gases and/or liquids is complicated by the many different flow regimes that are found to occur. Momentum, mass, and energy interactions between particles, between particles and fluid, and with boundary surfaces are complex and not well understood. The spectrum of subjects at the Conference will range from fundamentals of multiphase physics and chemistry to applications in novel, emerging and classic technologies. Impact Fluidization and particle processing is an engineering technology of importance to industries ranging from the classic (chemical, petrochemical, energy, etc.) to the new and advancing (biological, pharmaceutical, materials, etc.). U.S. manufacturing processes involving the handling of particles and powders have been estimated to rarely reach more than 60 percent of their design capacity, in contrast to over 95 percent capacity for processes that do not handle particles. Motivated by the combination of wide-application and unresolved scientific/technical issues, fluidization is actively pursued as a field of fundamental research and applied development. In many areas of this technology, major thrusts are being advanced in other nations, above and beyond the level of effort in USA. It is important to both academic and industrial segments of America, to stay cognizant of the most recent advances and to participate in future developments in this field. Participation of US faculty in this conference will clearly enhance their ability to incorporate the newest advances of particle technology in curriculums. In selection of faculty to participate in this grant, effort will be made to actively include women and under-represented minorities. The papers of this Conference will join the ranks of benchmark books that have resulted from prior conferences of this series, which will be of direct value to practicing engineers and scientists.

摘要CTS-0422959John C. Chen，理海大学此提案寻求财政支持，以支付美国学术人员参加定于 2004 年 5 月 1 日至 8 日在意大利伊斯基亚举行的第十一届国际流态化会议的旅费。 会议的全称是第十一届国际流态化会议：流态化工程的现在与未来。 这是自 1975 年以来有关固体颗粒处理和加工技术的一系列重要会议中最新的一次。该会议由国际工程会议 (EGI) 赞助，该会议是联合工程基金会会议计划的一个非营利性后续计划。 智力优势 会议的重点是流态化作为一种​​在材料、加工、制药和能源行业中完成多相接触和反应的技术。 用气体和/或液体流化固体颗粒的现象由于发现发生的许多不同的流态而变得复杂。 粒子之间、粒子与流体之间以及与边界表面的动量、质量和能量相互作用是复杂的并且尚不清楚。 会议主题范围从多相物理和化学基础知识到新颖、新兴和经典技术的应用。 冲击流化和颗粒处理是一项对从传统行业（化工、石化、能源等）到新兴行业（生物、制药、材料等）都很重要的工程技术。 据估计，美国涉及处理颗粒和粉末的制造工艺很少能达到其设计产能的 60% 以上，相比之下，不处理颗粒的工艺的产能则超过 95%。 在广泛应用和未解决的科学/技术问题相结合的推动下，流化作为基础研究和应用开发领域得到了积极的追求。 在这项技术的许多领域，其他国家正在大力推进，超出了美国的努力水平。 对于美国学术界和工业界来说，了解最新进展并参与该领域的未来发展非常重要。 美国教师参加本次会议将明显增强他们将粒子技术的最新进展融入课程的能力。 在选择参与这项资助的教员时，将努力积极吸收女性和代表性不足的少数族裔。 本次会议的论文将加入本系列之前会议的基准书籍行列，这将对实践工程师和科学家具有直接价值。
