1323192PI: LepekThis proposal will help subsidize travel-related expenses to enable U.S. researchers, particularly early-career researchers such as the PI, to attend and present their research at the Fluidization XIV conference (Fluidization XIV: From Fundamentals to Products) in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands (May 25-30, 2013). This proposal will support researchers from U.S. institutions that would normally not have the financial resources necessary to attend this international conference. In addition, this proposal will help support the travel costs of early-career researchers and researchers from traditionally underrepresented groups in the STEM fields that will be recruited to participate in this conference. Fluidization is a very important field of both fundamental research and broad industrial applications. Currently, knowledge of complex fluid-particle interactions, particularly when coupled with multiphase transport phenomena and chemical reactions is still incomplete. This is primarily due to the challenges associated with coupling the solid properties of particles and their hydrodynamic behavior within a moving fluid medium. The addition of heat and mass transfer operations and also chemical reacting systems makes multiphase systems such as fluidized bed reactors a challenge to successfully design, scale-up, and operate. Although fluidized bed reactors are fairly common within the petrochemical industry, they can be found in other industries for a variety of applications such as coating and the design of new materials. Therefore, advances in fluidization research are necessary to help develop and ultimately commercialize new technologies such as CO2 capture (chemical looping), renewable energy systems, nanostructured materials, and the continuous processing of novel coated drug delivery systems. This conference will focus on advances in the field of fluidization research which impact the research and development, as well as the large-scale manufacturing of advanced materials that are common across a wide range of chemical process, life science, and food science industries. This conference will bring together a wide range of scientists and engineers across multiple continents that are focused on fluidization research, which can have a major impact on multiple industries. By bringing together researchers who share a mutual interest in fluidization, it is expected that new international partnerships and collaborations will be established. This will be especially beneficial to the early-career researchers supported by this proposal that will have the unique opportunity to present their recent unpublished research findings in front of a congregation of established international researchers.

1323192PI：Lepek这项建议将帮助补贴与差旅相关的费用，使美国研究人员，特别是像PI这样的职业早期研究人员，能够出席在荷兰Noordwijkerhout举行的流态化XIV会议(流态化XIV：从基础到产品)并展示他们的研究成果(2013年5月25-30日)。这项提议将支持来自美国机构的研究人员，这些机构通常没有参加这次国际会议所需的财政资源。此外，这项提议将帮助资助职业早期研究人员和来自传统上STEM领域代表性不足的群体的研究人员的旅费，这些研究人员将被招募参加本次会议。流态化是一个非常重要的基础研究领域和广泛的工业应用领域。目前，关于复杂的流体-颗粒相互作用，特别是当与多相传输现象和化学反应相结合时，知识仍然不完整。这主要是由于在移动的流体介质中耦合颗粒的固体属性及其流体动力学行为所带来的挑战。传热和传质操作的增加以及化学反应系统的增加使多相系统(如沸腾床反应器)成为成功设计、放大和操作的挑战。尽管沸腾床反应器在石油化工行业中相当常见，但在其他行业也可以找到它们，用于各种应用，如涂层和新材料的设计。因此，流态化研究的进展对于帮助开发新技术并最终将其商业化是必要的，这些新技术包括二氧化碳捕获(化学环)、可再生能源系统、纳米结构材料以及新型涂层药物输送系统的连续加工。本次会议将聚焦于影响研发的流态化研究领域的进展，以及广泛存在于化学加工、生命科学和食品科学行业的先进材料的大规模制造。这次会议将汇聚多个大陆的科学家和工程师，他们专注于流态化研究，这可能会对多个行业产生重大影响。通过将对流态化有共同兴趣的研究人员聚集在一起，预计将建立新的国际伙伴关系和合作。这将对这项提议支持的早期职业研究人员特别有利，他们将有独特的机会在一群公认的国际研究人员面前展示他们最近未发表的研究成果。
