U.S. Brazil Joint Workshop on Thermal Sciences Research, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, December 1994

小行星9414414 这个美国-巴西合作科学计划奖将支持一个关于热科学研究的联合研讨会，由中西部大学能源联盟的James P. Hartnett博士和Renato M.巴西里约热内卢联邦大学Cotta会议将于1994年12月在里约热内卢举行。 研讨会的重点将是21世纪的热科学研究和发展需求。 与会者将审查美国和巴西在热科学研究的现状，以确定特别感兴趣的领域，并建立研究重点。 热科学涉及流体的流动以及热量和质量的传递，这对国际范围内的广泛行业和活动至关重要。应用领域包括石油和天然气生产、发电、化学品和石化产品制造、造纸、金属制造、食品生产和环境问题。 一些关键技术，如核电站的安全、节能电力系统、新材料的生产和计算机系统的开发，都在很大程度上取决于正在进行的和未来的热科学研究的结果。 ***

9414414 Hartnett This U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Science Program award will support a joint workshop on thermal sciences research, hosted by Dr. James P. Hartnett of the Midwest Universities Energy Consortium and Dr. Renato M. Cotta of the Universidade Federal de Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to be held in Rio de Janeiro in December 1994. The focus of the workshop will be on thermal sciences research and development needs for the 21st Century. The participants will review the current status of US and Brazilian research in thermal sciences, in order to identify areas of special interest and to establish research priorities. Thermal science deals with the flow of fluids and the transfer of heat and mass, which are of vital concern to a broad range of industries and activities on an international scale. Areas of application include petroleum and gas production, power generation, manufacture of chemicals and petrochemicals, paper making, manufacture of metals, food production, and environmental problems. Some key technologies, such as safety of nuclear power stations, energy efficient power systems, production of new materials and development of computer systems are known to depend strongly on the outcome of on-going and future research on thermal sciences. ***
