U.S.-India Workshops for Catalyzing Research Collaborations in Connection with the 9th ASME-ISHMT Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, Mumbai, India, January 4-6, 2010.

该奖项为促进美国和印度在热科学和工程领域的合作研究提供支持。2010年1月4日至6日，在孟买印度理工学院举行的第九届ASME-ISHMT热质传递大会期间，将举办五个研讨会。这次会议是为印度热科学和工程界传播研究成果的主要场所。美国机械工程师学会联合主办了这一活动，以加强印度和美国热科学研究人员之间的互动。五个专题领域的互动讲习班被认为是两国目前都有重大研究重点的新兴领域。它们是：电子设备的热设计和管理，生物系统的热传输，核能和核工艺热能资源的开发，燃料电池工程的最新进展，以及燃气轮机冷却和热传递。它们旨在促进关于下一代热挑战的讨论，并在共同感兴趣的领域促成新的双边研究合作。对于美国的参与者来说，这是一个获得印度当前研究进展、专业知识和设施的第一手知识的机会。美方代表团包括8名资深科学家、4名博士后研究人员和3名研究生。这些研讨会针对的是热量和质量传递的基本领域，预计将加强美印在未来热技术方面的合作，共享信息和建立机构桥梁，并促进所有参与者的教育和跨文化体验。美国的代表包括女性和代表不足的群体的成员，他们是职业生涯早期的教师、研究生或高级研究员。关于讲习班和会议的报告将通过一个网站传播，以便全世界的热传递研究人员能够获取这一信息。在美国，印度会议和研讨会的结果将在美国举行的下一届大型传热学会议上向更多的观众报告。这次研讨会的资金由国际科学与工程办公室和化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部门提供。

0928110Jog This award provides support to foster collaborative research between the U.S. and India in the areas of thermal science and engineering. Five workshops will be held in conjunction with the 9thASME-ISHMT Heat and Mass Transfer Conference at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, January 4?6th, 2010. This conference is the premier venue for disseminating research findings for India's thermal sciences and engineering community. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers co-sponsors this event to enhance interactions between Indian and US thermal science researchers. The interactive workshops in five topical areas are recognized as emerging areas with significant current research thrust in both countries. These are: Thermal Design and Management in Electronics, Thermal Transport in Biological Systems, Development of Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Process Heat Based Energy Resources, Recent Advances in Fuel Cell Engineering, and Gas Turbine Cooling and Heat Transfer. They are designed to promote discussion about the next-generation of thermal challenges and to seed new bilateral research collaborations in areas of mutual interest. For the US participants this is an opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the current research thrusts, expertise and facilities in India. The US delegation includes 8 senior scientists, 4 postdoctoral researchers, and 3 graduate students. The workshops, which target fundamental areas in heat and mass transfer, are expected to enhance US-India cooperation on future thermal technologies, share information and build institutional bridges, and promote educational and cross-cultural experiences for all participants. US delegates include women and members from under-represented groups who are early-career faculty, graduate students, or senior researchers. The report on the workshops and conference will be disseminated through a website so that heat transfer researchers worldwide will be able to access this information. In U.S., the results of the India conference and workshops will be reported to a larger audience at the next major Heat Transfer Conference held in the U.S. Funding for this workshop is provided by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems.
