Engineering Foundation Conferences on Pool and External FlowBoiling, March 23-27, 1992, in Santa Barbara, California

1992年3月23日至27日，在加州圣巴巴拉市举行了为期四天半的关于池和外部流沸腾的会议。沸腾是最有效的传热方式之一。它的应用涵盖了不同的工程领域，如机械、化学、核和航空航天。沸腾也是一个非常复杂的过程。尽管在过去的50年里，人们对它的研究付出了相当大的努力，但对它的理解是如此的不完整，以至于不使用经验常数就无法做出预测。拟议中的会议将汇集来自欧洲工业界、政府实验室和大学的研究人员，以评估当前的理解水平，并确定未来努力的方向。这次会议由工程基金会赞助，国家科学基金会只要求提供少量资金。其他资金正在向工业界和其他来源寻求。

A four and half day conference devoted to pool and external flow boiling is proposed from March 23 to 27, 1992 in Santa Barbara, California. Boiling is one of the most efficient modes of heat transfer. Its applications encompass diverse engineering fields such as mechanical, chemical, nuclear and aerospace. Boiling is also a very complex process. Though considerable effort has been devoted to its study in the last 50 years, the understanding is so incomplete that predictions cannot be made without the use of empirical constants. The proposed conference will bring together researchers from industry, government labs and universities in Europe, Asia and the U.S. to assess the level of current understanding and to establish directions of future endeavors. The conference is being sponsored by the Engineering Foundation and only modest funding is requested from the National Science Foundation. Other funding is being sought from industry and other sources.
