ASME 2011 International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels, June 19-22, 2011, Edmonton, Canada

CBET-1127689PI：坎迪尔卡这项提议是在加拿大埃德蒙顿举办一次关于微尺度和纳米尺度运输的会议。预算用于支持主旨演讲者、新教师、博士后和研究生的旅行。微尺度和纳米尺度的运输代表着有望从根本上改变许多应用的领域，目前的解决方案要么是不存在的，要么是过于昂贵的。例如电子冷却、微型反应堆、热交换器等。计划中的会议为跨学科研究人员提供了一个独特的论坛，让他们交流思想和提出新技术。之前的会议产生了许多NSF支持的研究主题，并培养了大量年轻研究人员参与这一令人兴奋的新技术前沿。NSF的拨款将支持将一些杰出的和新兴的研究人员带到这次会议上，并将提供令人兴奋的新想法，预计这些想法将最终在该领域取得进一步进展。

CBET-1127689PI: KandilkarThis proposal is to host a conference on Microscale and Nanoscale transport in Edmonton, Canada. The budget is to support the travel of keynote speakers, new faculty, post docs and graduate students. Microscale and Nanoscale transport represent areas that are expected to transform in a fundamental way many applications for which the current solutions are either non-existent or are too expensive. Examples include electronic cooling, micro reactors, heat exchangers etc. The planned conference provides a unique forum for interdisciplinary researchers to exchange ideas and come up with novel techniques. The previous meetings have resulted in a number of NSF supported research themes, and have developed a large number of young researchers to participate in this exciting new technology frontier. The NSF grant will support bringing a number of prominent as well as emerging researchers to this conference, and will provide exciting new ideas that are expected to culminate into further advancements in this field.
