Conference Brings Together Professionals from Heat Transfer, Fluids and Nanotechnology Fields

Conference Brings Together Professionals from Heat Transfer, Fluids and Nanotechnology Fields Conference Brings Together Professionals from Heat Transfer, Fluids and Nanotechnology Fields Conference Brings Together Professionals from Heat Transfer, Fluids and Nanotechnology FieldsRegistration is now open for the 2016 Heat Transfer, Fluids Engineering, & Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels Conferences (HT/FE/ICNMM 2016), which will bring together researchers and engineers from the fields of heat transfer, fluids and nanotechnology in Washington, D.C., this July. This year marks the first time since 2012 that the three major ASME events - the Summer Heat Transfer Conference (SHTC), the Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting (FEDSM), and the International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels (ICNMM) - will be co-located. HT/FE/ICNMM 2016 will take distributionspolitik from July 10 to 14 at Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.One of the highlig hts of the joint conference will the celebration of the Fluids Engineering Divisions 90th anniversary, which will be observed with a number of special activities to be held during meeting, including the Fluids Engineering Division (FED) Anniversary Banquet on July 12, as well as a luncheon lecture by C.D. Mote, Jr., president of the National Academy of Engineering on July 11, a panel discussion federal funding opportunities in fluids engineering also scheduled for July 11, the FED History Lecture on July 12, and the presentation of the Freeman Scholar Lecture by Goodarz Ahmadi, the Robert R. Hill Professor of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at Clarkson University.Other plenary speakers scheduled to give presentations during the joint conference include Narayana Aluru, the Richard W. Kritzer Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Joseph T. Arcano, Jr., technical director of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division C. Thomas Avedi sian, prof of mechanical engineering at Cornell University Vijay K. Dhir, dean of engineering and professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles Mohamed Gad-El-Hak, Inez Caudill Eminent Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University Arun Majumdar, the Jay Precourt Professor in the department of mechanical engineering at Stanford University James L. McGrath, professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Rochester Patrick Phelan, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Arizona State University and consultant Patrick J. Roache.Attendees of HT/FE/ICNMM 2016 will also be able to take part in several technical tours during the event, including tours of the George Washington University ME Lab, the University of Maryland Thermofluid Laboratories, the NASA Goddard Thermal Branchs Heat Transfer Laboratory and the Fluids Branchs Cryogenics Laboratory, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division. There is a separate registrat ion fee of $50 for each technical tour.A special workshop focusing on measurement uncertainty will be offered on July 10. The six-hour workshop, which will be led by Barton Smith of Utah State University and Douglas Neal of LaVision Inc., will provide attendees with an introduction to measurement error and uncertainty, and cover such topics as uncertainty of a single variable, propagation of uncertainty using Taylor Series and Monte Carlo methods, a priori uncertainty quantification for experiment planning, and a posteriori uncertainty quantification. Advance registration for the Measurement Uncertainty Workshop is $75 for ASME members and $100 for non-members. On-site registration is $100 for members and $125 for non-members.For more information on the 2016 Heat Transfer, Fluids Engineering, & Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels Conferences, or to register, visit www.asme.org/events/htfeicnmm.
