The conference is broad in scope and provides a forum for specialists in heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics from all corners of the globe to present the latest progress and developments in the field. The broad scope brings together a wide range of research areas from narrow fundamental work in nanofluids to import applications such as in the broad fields of energy, manufacturing, biomedical processes, production, education, instrumentation and control, and MEMS. This will not only allow the dissemination of the state of the art, but it will serve as a catalyst for discussions on future directions and priorities in these areas. The additional purpose of this conference is to initiate collaboration in research.
