The International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT), is pleased to announce CONV-09, an international symposium on Convective Heat and Mass Transfer in Sustainable Energy, taking place in Yasmine Hammamet, Tunisia, during 26 April – 1 May, 2009.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

A wide range of topics related to classical and emerging areas of convective heat and mass transfer applications will be covered, including:

• Computational methods in fluid flow and heat transfer
• Experimental methods of characterization and metrology in convective heat transfer problems
• Enhancement of heat exchangers
• Solar heating and cooling
• Fluid mechanics and turbulence in wind power
• Cooling of fuel cells
• Micro and nano scale convective heat and mass transfer
• Unsteadiness and transients in convective heat and mass transfer
• Instabilities
• Imaging, flow visualization and data analysis
• Boiling, condensation, two-phase flows
• Mass transfer, pollutant dispersion
• Interaction of convection with conduction, radiation, and chemical kinetics
• Thermo-solutal convection

LOCATION

The conference will be held at five-star El Mouradi Hotel, situated in the tourist area of Yasmine Hammamet, 4 km from the city of Hammamet and 55 km from Tunis. This hotel has an excellent location. It includes several services and numerous sport activities.

Reservation at the hotel should be made using the reservation form on the Symposium website. The room charges per day, including taxes, open-buffet breakfast and dinner will be :
* Single : 70 US$
* Double : 100 US$

REPRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION

There will be oral and poster presentations of contributed papers in each session. All contributed papers will be evaluated and accepted for presentation based on 3 to 4 pages of extended abstracts. Final decision concerning oral versus poster will be made according to author’s selection and session topics. The oral presentations will be chosen to highlight a specific subject within a session theme, and not necessarily for their scientific quality. The number of oral presentations will therefore be more limited in number to provide more time for posters.

Authors may also present their most recent work, or work in progress, as a poster without having to write a paper. There will be a special session for recent-work posters.

Keynote lecture abstracts, extended paper abstracts and recent-work poster abstracts, will be included in a book which will be available on site. All keynote lectures and full papers will be published by Begell House Inc. in a Proceedings volume and will be available in the form of a CD-ROM. The papers will also be published online in Begell House’s Electronic Data Center. A sample extended abstract and full-text paper in the required format and further information can be found on this Web site.
