Micro and Nanoscale Phase Change Heat Transfer: Role of Surface Structures, January 11-16, 2015 in Galveston, Texas.

CBET-1443584 Peles本提案请求提供支持，以支付几名与会者参加会议的注册费。会议定于2015年1月11日至16日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行。这项提议的主要目标是支持参加戈登研究会议(GRC)关于微米和纳米尺度相变热传递的会议。拟议中的会议是传热界的第一次此类会议，将有助于促进与热过程相关的科学前沿的想法和传播基础知识。社区将能够确定和制定战略，以更好地集中未来的研究努力，制定关于研究需求的明确愿景，了解最近的研究发展，并找出研究的不足之处。这个新成立的GRC将通过建立一个由传热学、化学、材料科学和界面科学的研究人员组成的具有凝聚力的多学科社区，来应对相变换热领域新出现的挑战，并确定新的机遇。主办方正在采取特别举措，从代表性不足的群体中招募演讲者和其他与会者。GRC的主题将集中在结合表面结构的液气相变的基本模式，以及由新的实验传热学和计量学方法论、理论和数值热科学、表面科学和化学、材料和流动操纵提供的机会。虽然在传热学方面存在着各种各样的一般会议，但与相变相关的主题往往散布在大型会议计划中。这一设置不允许进行详细的技术讨论，也不允许相关领域的研究人员参与。拟议中的会议将弥合传热学专家与来自重要相关学科的其他专家之间的差距。此外，分配给讨论的大量时间将促进不同研究人员之间的合作，以迅速促进理解。

CBET-1443584PelesThis proposal requests support to cover the registration costs for several participants to attend the conference. The conference is scheduled to be held January 11-16, 2015 in Galveston, Texas. The main objective of this proposal is to support participation at the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Micro and Nanoscale Phase Change Heat Transfer. The proposed conference is the first of its kind for the heat transfer community and will help accelerate ideas and disseminate fundamental knowledge in the scientific frontier pertinent to thermal processes. The community will be able to identify and develop strategies to better focus future research efforts, develop a clear vision about research needs, learn about recent research developments, and identify research shortcomings. This newly established GRC will address emerging challenges in phase-change heat transfer and identify new opportunities by establishing a cohesive multi-disciplinary community consisting of researchers in heat transfer, chemistry, material science, and interfacial science. The organizers are taking special initiatives to recruit speakers and other attendees from under-representative groups. The topics of the GRC will focus on the fundamental modes of liquid vapor phase change in combination with surface structures, and the opportunities provided by a new class of experimental heat transfer and metrology methodology, theoretical and numerical thermal science, surface science and chemistry, materials, and flow manipulation. Although various general conferences in heat transfer exist, the phase change related topics are often interspersed within the large conference program. This set up does not allow for detailed technical discussions and the inclusion of researchers from related fields. The proposed conference will bridge this gap between heat transfer experts with others from important relevant disciplines. In addition, the significant time allotted for discussions will foster collaborations amongst diverse researchers to rapidly accelerate understanding.
