Emerging Engineer Travel Support, The Sixth International Symposium on Radiative Transport: June 13-18, 2010 in Antalya, Turkey

1037942 web辐射传输是一种主要的应用机制，包括但不限于：涉及化石燃料、太阳能和核技术的能源产生和转换；热制造，包括纳米级制造；火和燃烧，以及非接触计量、诊断和传感技术的发展。正是大气辐射传输及其对大气中不断变化的化学成分的敏感性决定了地球的温度，并推动了潜在的气候变化。知识价值：该奖项将资助8名美国研究人员参加将于2010年6月13日至18日在土耳其安塔利亚举行的第六届国际辐射传输研讨会。该会议自1995年以来定期举行，是吸引辐射传热领域科学家和工程师参加的重要会议。在辐射转移领域工作的美国博士生和博士后将优先考虑。对美国学术机构的终身教职前教员的支持也将被考虑。更广泛的影响：研讨会将由不同的研究人员参加，包括物理学家、化学家、材料科学家、大气科学家、电力生产工程师、制造工程师以及其他关注辐射传输中广泛的基本挑战和机遇的人员。延续以往研讨会的传统，预计最重要的30至35篇论文将发表在《定量光谱学与辐射转移杂志》的特刊上，该杂志是研讨会主题的主要期刊，PI和co-PI分别是该杂志的助理技术编辑和技术编辑。将努力让来自代表性不足群体的学生和年轻教员参与进来。

1037942WebbRadiative transport is a dominant mechanism in applications including but not limited to: energy generation and conversion involving fossil fuel, solar and nuclear technologies; thermal manufacturing including manufacturing at the nanoscale; fire and combustion, and development of non-contact metrology, diagnostic and sensing technologies. It is atmospheric radiative transfer and its sensitivity to the atmosphere's evolving chemical content that governs Earth's temperature and drives potential climate change. Intellectual Merit: This award provides support for travel by eight U.S. researchers to the Sixth International Symposium on Radiative Transport, which will be held in Antalya, Turkey, on June 13 - 18, 2010. This meeting has been held periodically since 1995, and is a premier event attracting scientists and engineers in the field of radiative heat transfer. Priority will be given to U.S. Ph.D. students and post-doctoral associates working in radiative transfer. Support for pre-tenure faculty members at U.S. academic institutions will also be considered for support.Broader Impacts: The symposium will be attended by a diverse cadre of researchers including physicists, chemists, materials scientists, atmospheric scientists, power production engineers, manufacturing engineers, and others who are concerned with a wide spectrum of fundamental challenges and opportunities in radiative transport. Continuing a tradition from previous symposia, it is expected that the most important 30 to 35 papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, which is a premier journal in the subject matter of the symposium, and of which the PI and co-PI are associate-technical and technical editors, respectively. Efforts will be made to include participation of students and young faculty members from underrepresented groups.
