Travel Support to attend The 16th International Heat Transfer Conference (Beijing, China, August 10-15, 2018)

国际传热学会议有着悠久而丰富的历史，可以追溯到1951年在伦敦和大西洋城举行的关于传热学的国际讨论。1966年，随着第三次会议在芝加哥举行，国际热传递会议开始了一个四年的周期，已经在9个国家的16个不同城市举办。作为世界首屈一指的热传输过程会议，来自世界各地的研究人员、工程师和科学家齐聚一堂，交流知识和经验，介绍新颖的跨学科研究想法。国际传热学大会继续肩负着日益重要的使命，即促进国际合作，促进传热学和传质研究领域的科学家和工程师之间的思想交流，并使代表不足的少数群体参与其活动。国际传热学大会是全球最大的传热学和热科学与工程论坛。该组织致力于应对热能利用、环境可持续性、材料加工和生物科学方面的科学和社会挑战。随着人类社会的快速发展，国际传热学大会的使命变得更加重要。国际换热大会将于2018年8月10日至15日在北京举行，中国。该奖项由1966年成立的国际热传递大会赞助，其主要目标是创建和维持一个供热传递专家展示研究成果、讨论热传递领域最先进技术并确定热科学和工程各个领域的未来方向和优先事项的全球论坛。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The International Heat Transfer Conference has a long and rich history, which dates back to the International Discussion on Heat Transfer held in London and Atlantic City in 1951. In 1966, with the third conference held in Chicago, the International Heat Transfer Conference started a four-year cycle, having been organized already in 16 different cities of 9 countries. As the world's premier thermal transport processes conferences, researchers, engineers and scientists from all over the world get together to exchange knowledge and experience and introduce novel interdisciplinary research ideas. The International Heat Transfer Conference continues the increasingly important mission of fostering international cooperation and the exchange of ideas among scientists and engineers in the heat and mass transfer research community, together with engaging underrepresented minorities in its activities. The International Heat Transfer Conference is the largest worldwide forum on heat transfer and thermal science and engineering. The organization is devoted to meeting the scientific and social challenges of thermal energy usage, environmental sustainability, materials processing, and bioscience. The mission of International Heat Transfer Conference has become more important with the rapid development of human society. The International Heat Transfer Conference will be held in Beijing, China, August 10-15, 2018. It is under the auspices of the Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences, an institution founded in 1966, with the principal goal of creating and sustaining a worldwide forum for heat transfer specialists to present research results, discuss the state of the art techniques in heat transfer areas, and identify the future direction and priorities in the various domains of thermal science and engineering.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
