Travel Support for Workshops in Heat and Mass Transfer

1346952 PI：Banerjee该奖项将为美国科学家参加由印度热量和质量传递学会(ISHMT)和美国机械工程师学会(ASME)主办的研讨会提供差旅支持，研讨会将于12月28日至31日在印度理工学院举行。研讨会集中在与热流体科学和工程以及多相流现象相关的五个专题领域，旨在促进对该领域主要挑战的讨论，目的是发起新的合作团队并维持过去的印度-美国研究合作。美国学员拥有不同程度的经验--从研究生到职业生涯早期的院士，再到资深教职员工和知名的工业从业者(包括女性和少数族裔)。让研究人员在职业生涯早期参与进来，将促进长期合作，从而建立一支参与全球事务的劳动力队伍。研讨会涵盖的主题包括受热质传递影响的新兴技术的基本和应用两个方面。除了丰富参与者的跨文化和教育经验外，研讨会还将通过信息共享、萌芽机构联系和引发新的研究主题来加强印美合作。德克萨斯农工大学国际和平研究所将在德克萨斯农工大学开发一个网站，以更广泛地传播将提交给国家科学基金会的研讨会成果报告。报告还将讨论美国代表的经验。该报告将在日本举行的国际换热大会(IHTC 2014)的小组讨论和演讲中得到重点介绍，以宣传更广泛的科学界在国际上开展的合作研究活动，以加强未来的参与。印度和其他亚洲国家最近出现的研发投资激增，可以通过印美合资企业得到有效利用。这将通过与印度著名研究项目和其他亚洲国家的研究人员的合作，帮助美国的研究人员保持他们的研究有效性和影响力。研讨会上的妇女和少数群体参与者将增加多样性。

1346952 PI: BanerjeeThis award will provide travel support for US Scientists to attend workshops, organized under auspices of ISHMT (Indian Society for Heat and Mass Transfer) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) from Dec. 28-31. The workshops are centered on five topical areas related to thermal fluids science and engineering and multiphase flow phenomena and are designed to nurture discussions on the major challenges in this area with the intent of initiating new collaborative teams and sustaining past Indo-US research collaborations. The US participants have varied levels of experience - ranging from graduate students to early career academicians to senior faculty members and reputed industrial practitioners (including women and minorities). Engaging researchers early in their career will facilitate long term collaborations enabling a globally-engaged workforce. Topics covered in the workshops encompass both fundamental and applied aspects of emerging technologies that are impacted by heat and mass transfer. In addition to enriching the cross-cultural and educational experiences of the participants, the workshops will also augment Indo-US cooperation through information sharing, germinating institutional links, and sparking new research topics.A website will be developed by the PI at Texas A&M University for wider dissemination of the report on the workshop outcome that will be submitted to NSF. The report will also include discussions on the experience of the US delegates. The report will be highlighted in panel discussions and presentations at the International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC 2014) in Japan for publicizing the collaborative research activities internationally among the broader scientific community for enhancing participation in the future. The recent spurt in the R&D investments in India and other Asian countries can be leveraged effectively by joint Indo-US collaborative ventures. This will help the researchers based in the US to maintain their research effectiveness and impact by leveraging collaborations with prominent research programs in India and researchers from other Asian countries. Women and minority participants at the workshops will add to the diversity.
