0911231MathurThis proposal is a request for a grant to travel to India to help plan and develop a workshop in Chandigarh, India. The planned US/India workshop is being considered with India that is facing issues in energy and pollution areas due its fast growing chemical industry and energy needs. In January of 2007, a trip was made to New Delhi, India and a contact was established with Dr. S. Basu, Professor of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology- Delhi who agreed to organize the Indian side of a similar workshop. The PI and Dr. Basu met Dr. A. Mitra, Director, India - US Science and Technology Forum, New Delhi who asked for a proposal to fund the Indian side. Though emails have been exchanged between Dr. Basu and the PI discussing various aspects of the workshop, there is a strong need to visit India and workout the details (discussed later) in a meeting between Dr. Mitra, Dr. Basu and PI of this proposal. This proposal is a request for a grant to travel to India to help develop the planned workshop.Intellectual Merit: The workshop would cover a variety of topics relevant to fundamentals of transport, environment, and energy processes. These include interfacial processes, thermodynamics, mass transfer, separations, catalysis, combustion and particle mechanics, energy and environmental sustainability. Researchers in these areas will be invited who would have a strong interestin developing research collaborations.Broader Impact: The major impact of this workshop would be to start an endeavor towards collaborative R&D effort between faculty members of the USA and India to undertake fundamental research that was started by the three recent workshops with China. This would help in achieving pollution prevention and control in industries involved in energy conversion and chemical production. For example, new joint discoveries in the field of carbon dioxide sequestration and fuel cells for vehicular transportation could limit global warming faced by both nations as well as the entire world. International collaboration and contacts with India and the USA will result in many beneficial effects to USA researchers participating in this planned international workshop-including joint research projects and exchange of students. All government approved international travel expenses of the PI would be covered by this proposed grant.

Mitra博士，后者要求提出资助印度方面的建议。虽然巴苏博士和PI之间已经交换了电子邮件，讨论了研讨会的各个方面，但迫切需要访问印度，并在米特拉博士、巴苏博士和PI之间的会议上详细讨论（稍后讨论）。这是一份申请拨款前往印度帮助发展计划中的研讨会。知识价值：研讨会将涵盖与运输、环境和能源过程基础相关的各种主题。这些包括界面过程、热力学、传质、分离、催化、燃烧和粒子力学、能源和环境可持续性。将邀请对发展研究合作有浓厚兴趣的这些领域的研究人员。更广泛的影响：这次研讨会的主要影响将是开启美国和印度教师之间的合作研发努力，以开展最近三次与中国的研讨会开始的基础研究。这将有助于在涉及能源转换和化学生产的工业中实现污染预防和控制。例如，两国在二氧化碳封存和车辆运输燃料电池领域的新合作发现，可能会限制两国乃至整个世界面临的全球变暖问题。与印度和美国的国际合作和接触将为参加这次计划中的国际研讨会的美国研究人员带来许多有益的影响，包括联合研究项目和交换学生。所有政府批准的PI的国际旅行费用将由拟议的赠款支付。
