2005; and 165 participants from 35 countries have contributed to the success of the Heat-SET2005 conference. The conference programme included 8 keynote
lectures, 36 oral contributions and 85 poster presentations. The abstracts can be downloaded from http://
www.greth.fr/heatset/2005/index5.php
The conference proceedings, which is available on
CD at http://www.greth.fr/heatset/, collects 102 articles
presented at the Heat-SET 2005 conference. It consistsof invited lectures and contributions related to• Heat recovery, boilers and furnaces• Air-conditioning and refrigeration• Heat exchangers• Solar heating and cooling• Energy storage and distribution• Building and district heating• Heat pumps• Heat transfer• Fuel cells• Energy systems

The growing demand for energy, despite limited fossil
fuel reserves and growing environmental concerns, isprobably the major challenge of the 21st century. To
achieve a sustainable development, the origin and theusage of energy have to be addressed. Advanced energy
technologies for both fossil and renewable energy
carriers have to be developed, requiring significant
progress in research and technology. The application
texts of the Kyoto protocol has been signed up by 143
countries. This is the birth of a new hope for mankind
and a visible signal for scientists to increase their efforts
in research on safe, efficient and sustainable systems.
We hope that this conference has modestly contributed
to work in this direction and to initiate new studies andcollaborations in this field.
The Heat-SET conference aims to provide a platform for researchers from industry and academia to
exchange information and identify research needs in thearea of heat transfer in components and systems forsustainable energy technologies. The first Heat-SET
conference took place in Grenoble, France on 5-7 April

Report on Computational Fluid Dynamics in Chemical Reaction Engineering IV
June 19-24, 2005, Barga, Italy
by Anthony G. Dixon

The Fourth Engineering Conferences International(ECI) conference on CFD in CRE was held on June
19-24, 2005 at Il Ciocco Hotel and ConferenceCenter, Barga, Italy. Previous conferences in theseries were held in San Diego (1996), Quebec (2000)
and Davos (2003).
Despite the widespread use of CFD in industry,
there is still a lack of fully validated predictive CFD
models of many relevant transport and reaction
phenomena in chemical reaction engineering,
especially in the field of multiphase flows andcomplex reacting flows. This conference provided aforum for cross-fertilization between CFD model
developers and industrial practitioners in order toadvance the state of the art and prioritize researchneeds. CFD in CRE conferences are the only
scientific meetings that focus on CFD research inchemical reaction engineering.
Ten keynote speakers were invited who are
involved in cutting-edge research in the field. Twenty
oral presentations and approximately twenty poster
presentations were also made, as well as a "hottopics" discussion session. Over sixty participants
gathered from a wide range of countries. The CFD
in CRE conferences are relatively small, to encourage
informal discussion between participants.
The format of each day was to begin with two
keynote talks, each for an hour including discussion,and separated by a coffee break. After a short recess,4-5 oral presentations of 20-25 minutes each were
made, followed by lunch. The afternoon began withshort two-minute presentations from the poster
presenters. The rest of the afternoon was available
for informal discussion or recreation. The poster
session was at about 5pm followed by dinner and asocial hour. All participants gathered in one room,so that everyone could hear all presentations anddiscussions. All posters remained up throughout theconference. An exception to this schedule was day
3, which featured an excursion to the nearby historical
town of Lucca, followed by a discussion on selected
topics of current interest: Lattice Boltzmann
methods (Harry van den Akker, Delft), CFD inindustrial combustion (Jimmy Li, Air Products), andmultiphase flow modeling (Bjorn Hjertager, Aalborg).
Day 1 led off the conference on the topic of gassolid flows: fluidized bed and riser reactors.

Keynotes were given by Rodney Fox (Iowa State)
on CFD models for polydisperse solids and Martin
van der Hoef (Twente) on multi-scale modeling ofgas-fluidized beds. Day 2 focused on gas-liquid andliquid-liquid flows, with keynotes from Faical
Larachi (Laval) on gradient magnetic fields applied
to porous media flows and Stephane Zaleski (Univ.
Pierre et Marie Curie) on the art of fluid interface
CFD. The industrial perspective was featured on
day 3, with invited talks from Richard LaRoche(Fluent Inc.) on the evolution of CFD as a tool forchemical engineering and Glenn Price (Nova
Chemicals) on CFD perspectives and applications
at Nova Chemicals. On day 4 attention turned tochemically reacting flows: CFD with detailed
chemistry, fine-particle formation or other processes
sensitive to reactive mixing. The keynotes were by
Luc Vervisch (LMNF-INSA, CORIA) on DNS andLES of turbulent combustion and Dion Vlachos(Delaware) on simulations of portable microchemical
devices. The final half-day was on liquid-solid flows,
non-Newtonian and laminar flows and polymer
reactors and processes with complex fluids, led bytalks from Fernando Muzzio (Rutgers) on reactions
in laminar flow and Jos Derksen (Delft) on
simulations of dilute to dense solid-liquidsuspensions.
I would like to express appreciation to theconference co-chairs, Professor Harry van den Akker
of Delft University and Ahmad Haidari of Fluent,Inc.; also to the members of the organizing committee
who set up each day's program; and finally to theAmerican Institute of Chemical Engineers and to

September 25-30, 2005, Castelvecchio Pascoli (Barga, Lucca)
by Gian Piero Celata

The ECI International Conference on Heat Transfer
and Fluid Flow in Microscale, organized by theInstitute of Thermal-Fluid Dynamics of ENEA, in theframe of the ECI, Engineering Conferences
International, was hold at Castelvecchio Pascoli (Barga,
Lucca), from 25 to 30 September 2005.
Such a Conference follows after five years a similar
Conference organized by ENEA and ECI (at that timeEngineering Foundation). It is therefore possible,
considering the rapid growth of research in microscale,to draw some conclusions on the development of
microscale research in the field of heat transfer andfluid flow.
A total of 84 participants attended the Conference
and about 60 papers have presented in oral plenary
sessions, besides seven keynote lectures. Participationfrom industry has been good with 11 delegates; about
20 participants were PhD students, while 15 belongs
to national labs and the remaining pertains to
University. A little less than 20 participants (mostly
from industry) did not give a paper at the Conference.
Distribution of participants spanned over 18
Countries, and Japan (as very often happens) scoredthe largest participation: Japan 15, USA 10, Germany
9, Ireland 9, Italy 8, Switzerland 8, .....). It can beconcluded that participation has been pretty good,with an appropriate contribution from young
generation, experts and end users.
The format of ECI Conferences, with plenary
sessions, with delegates lodged in the same ConferenceCentre and therefore with the opportunity to interact
each other from the breakfast to the after dinner social
hours, and with a narrow conference scope, looks very
interesting. As a matter of fact, along the conference
week there are many chances for discussion: after thepaper presentation, during coffee-break, lunch, predinner, dinner and after dinner. All that leads to theopportunity to have a large feedback for delegates
research work
The seven keynote lectures, listed hereunder, havecovered many aspects of heat transfer and fluid flowin microscale, such as pressure drop, boiling, interface
phenomena, instabilities and modeling.

The 60 papers, collected in a CD-ROM, have beensorted in sessions on: single-phase fluid flow and heattransfer, adiabatic two-phase flow, flow boiling, phasechange, condensation, heat exchangers, measurement
techniques, MEMS, microfluidic systems and devices.
As already stated, a comments can be made on the
progress of the research in this field, after five years
from the first Conference. We may say that until 2000
research in microscale, especially on heat transfer andfluid flow, was rather pioneeristic, with experimental
and measurement approach not adequate for the-4-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.25 (2005) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flow

precision required when referring to very reduced
geometric scale.
As an example, the measurement of the channel
diameter has to be made with a precision of less than
one micron in order to avoid large uncertainty in theevaluation of fluid velocity and friction factor. Also,
the experimental evaluation of the surface roughness
is another important issue, as it plays a role in heattransfer and fluid flow even in laminar flow (this aspect
has not been completely cleared yet). Suchmeasurements have to be made all along the channel
axis, as they are supposed to change due tomanufacturing process. Use of advanced SEM and laser
optical profilometer is highly recommended to get thisessential information. Nonetheless, it is clear how suchmeasurements implies the destruction of the test
section and have to be made after the tests preventing
from repetition of tests on the same microchannel.
Pressure drop measurement is quite tough because of
the microscopic size of the channels and theconsequent problem of carefully drill pressure taps.
This sometimes calls for tricky methods leading to a
reduction of the uncertainty though always present.
Wall temperature measurement in turn requires thedevelopment of special micro-thermocouples
developed specifically for such applications.
So, considering the above instrumental andexperimental troubles, we may say that five years ago
it was quite clear the contradictory trend of similar
tests conducted in different laboratories, evidencing alarge discrepancy with the traditional theories. A generalagreement existed that contradictory findings weremainly due to experimental uncertainty and inadequate
instrumentation. After five years, as a main conclusionfrom the present Conference, we may say that, atleast as far as single-phase fluid flow (gas or liquid) isconcerned, the higher accuracy in the tests and thelarger availability of more adequate measurement
techniques have lead to a convergence of similar

experimental results and to the general good verificationof existing theories for macroscale.
We have to be more cautious for single-phase heattransfer, where the uncertainty still associated withthe wall temperature and the effect of conjugate heattransfer (due to axial conduction) still prevents ageneral comprehension of the phenomenon.
Two-phase flow, both adiabatic and with phasechange, exhibits a complex situation. Experimental
results look fairly consistent but available predictive
tools are far from being adequate. This is by all meansdue to the complexity of two-phase flow and todifferent flow pattern and bubble dynamics in a
microchannel. Let us imagine that a 100 micron bubble
in a large pipe may have a dynamics which can beconsidered independent of the geometric constraints,
while the same bubble (or a smaller one) in a
microchannel may be even deformed by the channel
walls and anyway tends to occupy the whole crosssection. In this case an accurate characterization of
two-phase flow in microchannels is required along withan upgrade of predictive tools (if not necessary tohave new ones), which are generally largely based onan empirical-experimental basis.
Eventually, if we are able to create a deepsynergisms between experimentation and modeling thismay lead to a great benefit to data analysis, their designand conduction.
The contribution of Conference co-Chairs, Prof.
Nobuhide Kasagi, Dr. Satish G. Kandlikar and Prof.
John R. Thome, has been very much appreciated.
The next Conference is tentatively planned forAutumn 2005 in Japan.

22nd Zurich Short Course on Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows
March 14-18, 2005, Zurich, Switzerlandby George Yadigaroglu

Courses similar to this one have been offered in thepast at Stanford University, at the University ofCalifornia-Santa Barbara and for 22 years now at
ETH-Zurich; over the last two decades, some 1300
participants attended the Zurich courses that arevery well known in Europe. The last few years
several participants from the US, Asian countries
and in particular Japan have also attended thecourses.
The courses are organised in a modular form as
intensive introductory courses for persons havingbasic knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer,and numerical techniques, but also serve as advanced
courses for specialists wishing to obtain the latest
information.
Part I, Bases covered the common backgroundmaterial and emphasised the latest modelling andcomputational aspects of multiphase flows. Afteran introduction to the course, the lectures covered
first the basics: the empirical and phenomenologicalmodels for flow regimes, pressure drop and void
fraction as well as two-phase heat transfer. A
rigorous introduction to multifield models andclosure laws followed. Special attention was given
to thermal non-equilibrium flows andmulticomponent systems. Numerical methods andan introduction to CMFD completed the basics inPart I. Finally a lecture on instabilities in two-phaseflow covered both the instabilities of the liquid-gas
interfaces, as well as two-phase system instabilities.
A lecture on flow and heat transfer in micro-channels
introduced this topic of great current interest to theaudience.
Part IIA, New Reactor Systems and Methods
covered core design and the multiphase phenomena
in LWRs as well as advanced computationalmodelling and scaling for these systems. Some of
the most recently proposed advanced reactor systemdesigns (including those in Generation IV) were thenreviewed, as well as the state-of-the-art and beyondin modelling and simulation methods for core design
and accident analysis.
Part IIB, the module on Computational MultiFluid Dynamics (CMFD) reflected the growinginterest in the application of CFD techniques tomulti-phase flows. This part of the course was again
expanded to cover most new computational
techniques. It included lectures on the Volume of
Fluid (VOF) method, the ghost fluid and level-set
methods, embedded interface methods, the phasefield method, Lattice Gas Cellular Automata, as well
as reviews of applications of all these.
Finally a new module, CMFD with Commercial
Codes was added this year in response to numerous
requests and gave to the participants the possibility
to meet the main commercial code developers who
presented the two-phase computational capabilityof their codes.
Numerous movies, videos, animations, andcomputer simulations, some classical, someproduced very recently, were offered again toillustrate the physical phenomena and the numerical
techniques.
The lecturers in this series of carefully organizedcourses are experts in their respective fields but are
selected also for their pedagogical capabilities. This
year they included: S. Banerjee, M.L. Corradini, G.
Hetsroni, G.F. Hewitt, M. Ishii, S. Lo, G. Scheuerer,
G. Tryggvason, S. A. Vasquez, G. Yadigaroglu andS. Zaleski.
The course was hosted, as usual by the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich,
Switzerland. The participants received an extensive
set of lecture notes and copies of all the standardised
presentations. The course language was English. The
exact schedule and contents of lectures can be foundin the Course web site: http://www.ascomp.ch/
