US-India Workshop: Thermal Science Group Travel to Participate in Research Workshops and the Sixth ISHMT-ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, Bangalore, India, January 2004

描述：该奖项为美国热学科学家和工程师代表团访问印度提供支持，他们将在那里参加两个研究研讨会和2004年1月在印度班加罗尔举行的一年两次的美印热量和质量转移会议。热量和质量传递会议是印度热科学和工程界传播研究成果的主要场所。近十年来，美国机械工程师协会一直是这一活动的共同发起人。代表团将参加旨在加强互利合作的新倡议。这些活动包括提供最先进的全体会议和主题演讲，与印度领先的科学和工程机构建立基于网络的教育伙伴关系，参加两个研讨会，并参观一流的教育机构和领先的公司和实验室，提供强有力的持续的热科学倡议。范围：印度有几个大型研究人员社区，积极参与大学、政府实验室和行业的热科学和工程研究与教育。印度热质传递学会是代表印度热科学领域的专业协会，其成员与政府机构和行业密切互动，为该领域制定国家议程，并确定对行业重要的研究问题。美国代表包括初级、博士后和高级研究人员，其中包括该领域一些最重要的研究人员。这项活动由NSF的化学和运输系统部门和印度科技部(DST)在NSF/DST联合计划下共同资助。

Description: This award provides support for a delegation of US thermal scientists and engineers to visit India where they will participate in two research workshops and the biannual US-India Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, Bangalore, India, January 2004. The Heat and Mass Transfer conference is the premier venue for the dissemination of research findings by the Indian thermal sciences and engineering community. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has cosponsored this event for nearly a decade. The delegation will participate in novel initiatives designed to enhance mutually beneficial collaborations. These include delivering state-of-the-art plenary and keynote lectures, building web based educational partnerships with India's leading science and engineering institutions, participating in two workshops, and visiting premier educational institutions and leading companies and laboratories with strong ongoing thermal science initiatives. Scope: India has several large communities of researchers actively involved in thermal sciences and engineering research and education at universities, government laboratories and industries. The Indian Heat and Mass Transfer Society is the professional society representing the field of thermal sciences in India and its members interact closely with government agencies and industry to set the national agenda for this field and identify research issues of importance to industry. The US delegates include junior, postdocs, and senior researchers including some of the most significant researchers in the field. This activity is cofunded by the NSF's Division of Chemical and Transport Systems and by the Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST) under the NSF/DST joint program.
