U.S.-India Workshops for Catalyzing Research Collaborations in Connection with the 10th ISHMT-ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, Chennai, India

主要研究者：ManglikCBET-1153397这个研讨会/会议奖的目的是汇集美国和印度的科学家和研究人员在传热和传质领域的工作，并促进和促进合作。研讨会将在2011年12月至2012年1月期间举行，并将围绕在印度马德拉斯技术学院，印度钦奈，印度第10届ISHMT ASME热质传递会议（12月27日至29日，计划在钦奈举办五个讲习班，（会议地点）或附近（或交通便利）的城市，以处理以下两个国家当前研究重点的新兴领域：-电子热设计&管理-&生物系统中的热质传递-高性能热交换系统的能源可持续性-燃料电池工程的进展-在能源，燃烧和运输的进展这个会议是传播印度的热科学和工程界的研究成果的首要场所，位于会议周围的研讨会将吸引来自印度各地的研究机构（学术界，工业中心和国家实验室）的参与者。此外，美国代表将有机会与许多其他亚洲国家的研究人员会面和互动，这些研究人员通常不参加欧洲和美国的技术会议。目前，两国在政治和科学方面都有浓厚的兴趣促进合作。围绕ASME-ISHMT会议的这些研讨会将促进两国研究人员的合作。研讨会将讨论传热和传质的基本和新兴领域，并将加强美印在未来热技术方面的合作，分享信息，建立机构桥梁，并促进所有参与者的教育和跨文化经验。美国代表团将是一个多元化的团体，包括开始和建立的研究人员，妇女，代表性不足和早期职业教师。由于强有力的研究合作是通过持续的互动、定期讨论和更新想法来发展的，拟议的访问将加强目前和正在进行的合作和讨论，并将加强通过以前的讲习班和合作取得的成功。

PI: ManglikCBET-1153397The purpose of this workshop/conference award is to bring together U.S and Indian scientists and researchers working in the field of heat and mass transfer and to foster and promote collaborations. The workshops will be held in the December 2011 to January 2012 timeframe and will be centered around the 10th ISHMT ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India (Dec 27-29, 2011).Five workshops are being planned that will be located in Chennai (the conference site) or nearby (or easily accessible) city to deal with the following emerging areas with significant current research thrust in both countries:- Thermal Design & Management in Electronics- Heat & Mass Transfer in Biological Systems- High-Performance Heat Exchange Systems for Energy Sustainability- Advances in Fuel Cell Engineering- Advances in Energy, Combustion and TransportationThis conference is the premier venue for disseminating research findings for India's thermal sciences and engineering community and the workshops located around the conference will attract participants from research organizations (academia, industrial centers, and national labs) all over India. Also, US delegates will have the opportunities to meet and interact with researchers from many other Asian countries who generally do not attend technical meetings in Europe and the US.Currently, there is strong interest between the two countries both politically ansd scientifically to promote collaborations. These workshops centered around the ASME-ISHMT meeting will facilitate the researchers in the two countries to collaborate. The workshops will address fundamental and emerging areas in heat and mass transfer and will enhance US-India cooperation on future thermal technologies, share informatin, build institutional bridges, and promote educational and cross-cultural experiences for all participants. The US delegation will be a diverse group and include beginning and established researchers, women, under-represented and early-career faculty members. Since strong research collaborations are developed through sustained interactions, and periodic discussions and refreshment of ideas, the proposed visit will strengthen current and ongoing collaborations and discussiions, and will enhance successes achieved through prior workshops and collaborations.
