First Announcement and Call for Papers
5th ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat & Mass Transfer
International Conference (MNHMT-16)
January 3-6, 2016, Singapore
The 5th ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat & Mass Transfer International Conference (MNHMT-16) will take place in Singapore from
January 3 - 6, 2016. This conference series is dedicated to Dr. Chang-Lin Tien (1935-2002), a world renowned scholar and a leader in
higher education, whose intellect and unique vision have continued to inspire our efforts in expanding the frontiers of micro/nanoscale
heat and mass transfer. The Conference is sponsored by the ASME Heat Transfer Division and organized by the School of Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering of Nanyang Technological University.
The 5th ASME MNHMT-16 succeeds the previous four conference, which were successfully hosted by National Cheng Kung
University in Tainan (January 2008), Shanghai Jiaotong University in Shanghai (December 2009), Georgia Institute of Technology in
Atlanta (March 2012), and University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong (December 2013) with over 250 attendees in each of the
conferences.
Research and education on micro/nanoscale heat and mass transfer have advanced rapidly over the last two decades through many
dedicated individuals and team efforts, with direct impact extending into various fields in both science and engineering. The
conference is intended to provide a highly interactive forum to bring together researchers, educators and practitioners around the world
with the aim of collecting, exchanging and promoting the knowledge and new advances on the state-of-the-art research and
development in this interdisciplinary emerging field. The conference will include keynote and invited presentations, contributed oral
and poster presentations, as well as panel discussions on the current status and future opportunities.
Technical papers or extended abstracts are solicited in, but not limited to, the following areas:
Track 1: Micro/Nanofluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip
Track 2: Nanofluids
Track 3: Micro/Nanoscale Interfacial Transport Phenomena
Track 4: Micro/Nanoscale Boiling and Condensation Heat Transfer
Track 5: Micro/Nanoscale Thermal Radiation
Track 6: Micro/Nanoscale Energy Devices and Systems
Track 7: Micro/Nano-Thermal Manufacturing and Materials Processing
Track 8: Ultrafast Diagnostics of Transport Properties and Processes
Track 9: Thermal Metrology at Micro/Nanoscales
Track 10: Computational Methods in Micro/Nanoscale Transport
Track 11: Heat and Mass Transfer in Small Scale
Track 12: Micro/Miniature Multi-Phase Devices
Track 13: Biomedical Applications of Micro/Nanoscale Transport
Track 14: Measurement Techniques and Thermophysical Properties in Micro/Nanoscale
Track 15: Boiling, Quenching and Condensation Heat Transfer on Engineered Surfaces
Track 16: Poster
For papers accepted by ASME MNHMT-16, they will be indexed by EI Compendex, ISI and Scopus. After the conference, authors of
selected papers will be encouraged to submit manuscripts for inclusion in a special issue of ASME Journal of Heat Transfer. "Online"
submission of abstracts for this conference will soon be available through the ASME website. We will inform you once the website is
available.
