Conference Theme
The conference focuses on promoting the engineering development and application of enhanced, compact, and ultra-compact heat exchanger technology, on the basis of a clear understanding of the underlying mesoscale and microscale physics of heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena. Thus, the conference theme spans a wide spectrum of topics from the investigation of microscale science to industrial applications of this important class of heat exchange equipment which can provide cost effective solutions to complex contemporary heat transfer challenges in a way that serves the energy and sustainability needs of society.
