Inaugural address of the President of ICHMT, Yildiz Bayazitoglu:
On behalf of the officers, executive committee, scientific council, and the institutional members of theInternational Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT), I would like to express our sadness, deepest
sympathies, and heartfelt condolences to the people of Turkiye and Syria affected by devastating two massive
earthquakes started on 6th of February, 2023 and followed with aftershocks.
It is very humbling to serve as the next president of the ICHMT for the next four years. I look forward toleading and representing this incredible organization. I am honored and pleased to also have so much wonderfulsupport from my colleagues in the ICHMT General Assembly. I am aware of the fact that accepting thisposition comes with great responsibilities.
The ICHMT is thankful to our departing president, Professor Dr. Terry Simon of the University of Minnesota,
for his leadership and contributions during the last four years and for passing the baton to me to continue inhis steps. We acknowledge and express our appreciation of all the past presidents, officers, executive
committee, and scientific committee members, many of whom were mentors, professors, colleagues, andfriends.
We are fortunate to have two new esteemed members serving as vice presidents, each from a different
hemisphere. Professor Dr. Peter C. Stephan of Technische Universität Darmstadt and Professor Dr. Emeritus
Hideo Yoshida of Kyoto University. I think that I as a Turkish-American help to round out our global
representation. With their dedication and hard work, the ICHMT’s general secretary, Professor Emeritus Dr.
Ilker Tari of the Middle East Technical University (METU), and the ICHMT’s Mrs. Tugba Gun kept theorganization functioning during the difficult pandemic years. Their agreeing to continue to contribute is verymuch appreciated. I intend, as was done in the past, to work closely with them, to build on the momentum
created over the past few years to serve all international heat and mass transfer scientific communities.
For more than 55 years ICHMT provided a platform for academicians, scientists, engineers, and all researchers
to publish their work, communicate and collaborate with each other, discuss their findings and other technicalissues, form friendships, and share knowledge and know-how. I hope to continue ICHMT’s goal of achieving
technical advancement and excellence. Our previous presidents’ footsteps will be followed.
I would like to encourage everyone in the ICHMT organization to be transparent, listen to debates, consider
the critiques, to be kind and supportive, and caring, and finally to reach out for assistance when needed. I am
excited to be able to contribute to the core functions of ICHMT to achieve its long-term vision. I know the role,as the president of the ICHMT, will be an intellectually stimulating and enjoyable experience. With your kindcollaboration, I hope the ICHMT will further foster research, development, and learning, and advance our fieldbeyond what we can imagine.
We encourage more women and more diverse group of members to become active in the ICHMT, and we
provide the students and the young scientists opportunities to become involved with its functions. I consider
myself very fortunate to have had the connections I developed while attending the ICHMT meetings. The
ICHMT officers, the executive committee, and the scientific committee members with such a diverse set of1

Xing Zhang Dept. of Eng. Mech., Tsinghua University
x-zhang@tsinghua.edu.cn
Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences (AIHTC) aims to organize the most important academic
conference in the international heat transfer academic society. The quadrennial International Heat Transfer
Conference is also known as the Olympic conference in the heat transfer field. The 16th International Heat Transfer
Conference was successfully held in Beijing, China in 2018. It was determined that the 17th International Heat
Transfer Conference (IHTC-17) would be held in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2022. However, the preparationand organization of IHTC-17 were inevitably affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to ensure the smoothholding and success of IHTC-17, the current president of AIHTC, Professor Xing Zhang, convened several online
meetings with the vice-president, secretary and delegates from participating countries to discuss the conference
plan, organization and details. Until November of 2022, the IHTC-17 conference had received 992 submitted
papers, which was basically the same as the number of IHTC-16 conference in Beijing. The review process ofsubmitted papers is now on-going. At present, the conference organization committee is organizing Panel Session
and Special Lectures, including the Fourier Lecture, various awardee lectures (Nukiyama Award, William Begell
Medal). Also, the preparation of exhibition and conference program is on-going. Thanks to the hard work of theconference organization committee, the organization of IHTC-17 conference is progressing smoothly. I believethat IHTC-17 will become a successful and wonderful academic event in the field of heat transfer, gatheringstrength from the whole heat transfer society and creating a better future.

Online meeting of AIHTC on Nov. 30, 2022.

Eurotherm Seminar 117 - METTI-8 Advanced School on Thermal Measurements and Inverse
Techniques
The French Heat Transfer Society (SFT-Société Française de Thermique) is organizing the 8th METTI
advanced school on Thermal Measurement and Inverse Techniques (https://metti8.sciencesconf.org/)
at Oleron Island (France) from 24th to 29th September 2023. Finding ‘causes’ from measured‘consequences’ using a mathematical model linking the two is an inverse problem. This is met indifferent areas of physical sciences, especially in Heat Transfer. Techniques for solving inverse
problems as well as their applications may seem quite obscure for newcomers to the field.
Experimentalists desiring to go beyond traditional data processing techniques for estimating theparameters of a model with the maximum accuracy feel often ill prepared in front of inverse
techniques. In order to avoid biases at different levels of this kind of involved task, it seems
compulsory that specialists of measurement inversion techniques, modelling techniques andexperimental techniques share a wide common culture and language. These exchanges are necessary
to take into account the difficulties associated with all these fields. It is in this state of mind that thisschool is proposed. The METTI Group (Thermal Measurements and Inverse Techniques), which is adivision of the French Heat Transfer Society (SFT), has already run or co-organized seven similarschools, in the Alps (Aussois, 1995 and 2005), in the Pyrenees (Bolquère-Odeillo, 1999), in Brasil(Rio de Janeiro, 2009), in Bretagne (Roscoff, 2011), in Pays Basque (Biarritz, 2015) and in
Porquerolles island (Porquerolles 2019). For this eighth edition the school is again open toparticipants from the European Community with the support of the Eurotherm Committee. About 80
to 100 attendees and instructors (Ph.D. Students, academics, and R&D engineers) from different
countries are expected. Lectures will be given on the following topics: generalities on inverse
problems, linear and nonlinear estimation, contact and non-contact thermal sensors, measurement
noise, large scale optimization, regularization, function estimation, signal processing, model
reduction or identification.

THERMOPEDIA: The publisher’s view: origin andprogress
Yelena S. Begell, President, Begell House Publishers
elena@begellhouse.com
Thermopedia™ is a peer-reviewed web resource on thermal and fluids
science and engineering written by foremost known scientists and experts
in the world. It was derived from the famous International Encyclopediaof Heat and Mass Transfer (IEHMT Encyclopedia).
“The idea for the encyclopedia arose when Dr. William Begell (Bill), the founder of Begell
House Publishers, asked one of the editors and colleague, Professor Brain Spalding, whatbook on heat and mass transfer would be one they would most like to see on their shelves,
After some thoughts, the idea for the encyclopedia was born. The concept was for a work thatgave sufficient information on any given subject to answer a large fraction of queries but
which, equally important, gave the reader an easy route into the most cogent review andtutorial literature sources (Hewitt et al., 1996).”
The original book was conceived of and developed by international team of editors and has aunique structure. “The reader may enter at any point and will be provided not only with abasic introduction but also with guidance to further information (Hewitt, et al. 1996).” The
IEHMT Encyclopedia articles are structured for readers with cross-referencing terms andentries shown as “following from” and “leading to” providing more detailed information or
associated topics. Nine areas were selected with interconnections between articles, shown in
Figs. 1–9 (Hewitt, et al. 1996). The project was led by editors Geoffrey. F. Hewitt, George. L.

Shires, and Yury. V. Polezhaev, with the participation of colleagues from many countries.
ICHMT was the official sponsor of the IEHMT Encyclopedia, which was completed by 1996
and released in 1997.
The world was changed by the Internet, and the Internet changed everything in publishing. As
early as 1997, all STEM publishers started moving their content online. Begell House(Begell) started with the journals program; at the time, we had 32 titles.
When Geoff Hewitt, of Imperial College, London, was visiting Begell House in New York inearly 2000, Bill and I had met with him in our Madison Avenue office. The future of theIEHMT Encyclopedia was discussed and ultimately selected as a priority to make it available
online. The web title given to it was, “A-to-Z Guide to Thermodynamics, Heat & Mass
Transfer, and Fluids Engineering.” Then I, together with the IT team, were blessed andsupported by Bill and Geoff to move forward to create a pdf version of IEHMT Encyclopedia.
The index was then set in HTML format linking to pdf articles, and the first online edition
was released in 2002.
By 2003, however, we knew that pdf was not a proper format because the online edition did
not receive much attention. Many debates took place. Geoff and I were advocating for aninteractive HTML format. The challenge was not technical but financial, because IEHMTEncyclopedia, now “A-to-Z Guide to Thermodynamics, Heat & Mass Transfer, and Fluids
Engineering,” was open and available for free, and no revenue was coming in to support
future development.

12

Thermal No. 6 May 8, 2023

At the same time, only McGraw Hill started converting its books into HTML format. It wasan expensive exercise, and there were no business models on how to license such products. In
order for us to go forward, we had to consider, not only the technical aspect, but financials aswell because the entire IEHMT Encyclopedia had to be reset, edited for minor errors, andreformatted with higher quality figures. After long debates, a team of 13 people traveled toImperial College, where we spent two weeks working with Geoff on all aspects ofrestructuring. By 2006, we completed full HTML conversion of the online “A-to-Z Guide to
Thermodynamics, Heat & Mass Transfer, and Fluids Engineering.”
Later that year, it just so happened that I was on my way to London to meet Geoff and readon the plane an article that Wikipedia (Wiki) had just broken a record of one million usersthat year. The information about Wikipedia’s jump—even considering that it was an entirely
different product—was an indicator. It was clear that something was wrong with the “A-to-Z
Guide to Thermodynamics, Heat & Mass Transfer, and Fluids Engineering” because it did
not take off as projected. I was concerned. The next day when I met Geoff at Imperial
College, I told him, “Perhaps the title ‘A-to-Z Guide to Thermodynamics, Heat & Mass
Transfer, and Fluids Engineering’ is too long.”
He said, “What do you mean by that?”
I replied, “It is too long, not catchy. We need to come up with one word that will be in the air,like Wikipedia.”
Geoff looked at me and said, “Why don’t you call it Thermopedia?”And, thus, Thermopedia was born!
Thermopedia transformed the team with a new energy wave
and excitement. We reengaged in new restructuring, frominterface design to technical aspects—the work started. Oneof the first tasks was the translations of all entries in the Index
from English to seven languages: Russian, Chinese, Japanese,
Portuguese, Spanish, French, and German. Begell had
published a glossary of technical terms and descriptions with
380 entries, which was already available in eight languages,
and this glossary was incorporated into Thermopedia.

Thermopedia multi-language
mobile webpage

While having useful similarities, such as multi-language
implementation, nonetheless Thermopedia was entirely
different. Wiki accumulates content by articles written byanyone and also provides an option for anyone to update andchange published articles. Our web-platform was set for
exclusive editorial and author use; unlike Wiki, no strangers
could come and challenge or edit the published peer-reviewed
content. Thermopedia’s philosophy for content development,
updates, and inclusions stands on the foundation of thehighest academic and technical standards. Thus, the quality,
accuracy measures, and control are the first priority. All
articles are peer reviewed and by invitation only.

It was also ten years since the IEHMT Encyclopedia had been published. The updates were a“MUST,” as Geoff would say. By 2007, under Geoff’s supervision, Thermopedia was
expanded from five initial areas to 23 areas with 78 editors joining editorial board, with Dr.
Jader Barbosa (Geoff’s former student) taking an Executive Editor role. It was an enormous
undertaking with daily handling varieties of many tasks.

Geoff and Jader spent hours on the Thermopedia semantic Tree-Map development andeditor’s communications. We had many international group meetings during conferences andspecially arranged for editorial technical discussions. The editors were actively engaged inresetting the old, expending the semantic Tree-Map and bringing new materials. It was an
uplifting creative atmosphere. We also had a good time—often ending the day late, in warmand friendly surroundings, with a cocktail or glass of wine.

The web format was perfect to allow settings of earlier development “following from” and“leading to” interlinking between articles in Thermopedia. The idea was taken further when
Begell IT proposed setting another methodology for article listings by integrating all content
under a semantic-web structure with a thermal-fluids taxonomy index that would be
visualized in a Tree-Map structure and interlink articles by scientific correlation. The muchbroader system allowed inclusion of media and refencing leading outside Thermopedia toother publisher’s web resources: references, journals, books, and databases. Geoff and Jader
developed the main core Tree-Map, and the editors took on each topical derivation—thebranches. The semantic Tree-Maps were peer reviewed with Geoff’s and Jader’s input.

Thermopedia today is a state-of-the-art web reference with articles in HTML full text
featuring 2D, 3D, animations, and films of experiments, and also has a Visual Gallery. The
articles are arranged by scientific and engineering areas and interlinked to related topics. Its
semantic web structure provides the ability to browse content that is hierarchically arranged
and interlinked by correlations. The click on any major subject area provides a view of all
related topics.
With the continued updates by 2015, Thermopedia exceeded one million views per year and,by 2022, gained more than five million visitors. It remains the most comprehensive peer-

sciences and engineering.
We experienced enormous pain, loss, and a void with the passing of Professor Geoff Hewitt
in 2019. Thermopedia had reached 2.2 million users by then. To continue his legacy, in 2021
Begell invited Dr. Nesrin Ozalp, together with Begell Advisory Board, to relaunch
Thermopedia’s updates, web design interface, semantic Tree-Map and invite new editors. The
Editorial Board has been rotating and expanding with new invitations, and Thermopedia is
now comprised of 30 editors.
Dr. Ozalp initiated Thermopedia
Focus, the series column of novel
research,
innovations,andbreakthroughs in applied thermal fluids

built on the fundamentals ofthermodynamics, heat transfer, andfluid mechanics that is publishing in a short format articles on novelties and breakthroughs(https://thermopedia.com/focus). Since the launch in January 2023, the published articles
gained close to 1,000 views in less than one week and exceeded 1,000 visits after 10 days of
publication.

Starting in 2023, the Editorial Board functions as a vertical structure with the Executive
Board setting the direction for future updates. Each Executive Editor, based on his overview
his/her topical subject area works with his selected coeditors and authors. The updates will belargely focusing on important interdisciplinary topics and areas, especially the latest
developments. Our goal is to (i) bring the knowledge of what is known and (ii) reach out towhat is new and may be coming for the key to understanding energy in all its forms andchanges in nature. The collaborations with companies, R&D, and the industrial sector will be
expanded by commissioning special topical updates on equipment and the latest
enhancements by industry. Our inclusions will explore areas for experimental and applied AI
in heat transfer technologies.
We recently asked ChatGPT, “Can we find information on falling film evaporators in
Thermopedia?” We received the following answer:

Thermal No. 6 May 8, 2023

“Yes, Thermopedia is also a great online resource for information on falling film heatexchangers. Thermopedia is an online encyclopedia of thermodynamics and heat transfer thatprovides in-depth information on a wide range of topics related to heat transfer and heatexchangers.
“Thermopedia offers a comprehensive collection of articles on heat exchangers, including
falling film type, and covers topics such as design, operation, performance, and maintenance.
The articles are written by experts in the field and are peer reviewed to ensure accuracy andreliability.
“In addition to articles, Thermopedia also offers a glossary of heat transfer terms, interactive
simulations and animations, and a collection of case studies and examples.
“Thermopedia is an excellent resource for engineers, researchers, and students who arelooking to deepen their understanding of heat exchangers, including falling film types.
However, keep in mind that the content on Thermopedia is technical and may require a basic
understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer to fully comprehend,” as per ChatGPT(2023).
I thank Hideo for inviting me to write this article. We welcome like-minded researchers andscholars to join our team to bring your updates to Thermopedia and this newsletter.

Over the past two decades, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical
Systems) technology has advanced significantly. Thin film thermal
sensors open the door to unraveling complex heat transfer processes.
Here, we will focus on surface temperature and heat flux measurement
using the MEMS sensors and introduce the latest status.
Microlayer formation characteristics is important for developing a
reliable nucleate boiling heat transfer model which is based on accurate
physical mechanisms. In our studies [1] [2], transient heat conduction
analysis using the local wall temperature measured with a MEMS sensor Fig. 1.1 MEMS sensor for isolate(Fig. 1.1) are applied to estimate the spatial distribution of initial bubble pool boiling [1].
microlayer thickness under pool boiling bubbles and heat transfer
characteristics. Recently, the hydrodynamic characteristics of microlayer
formation in the pool boiling were also investigated based on therelationship between derived initial microlayer thickness and microlayer
formation velocity which is determined by the transient local heat flux
data (Fig. 1.2) [3]. It was found that the trend of microlayer thickness
changes depending on the thickness of the velocity boundary layer
outside the bubble foot developed with bubble growth.
The MEMS technology is beginning to be used in the development ofFig. 1.2 Relation between initial
next-generation high-efficiency automobile engines both for spark- microlayer thickness and velocity
ignition (SI) [4] and compression-ignition (CI) [5]. Wall heat transfer is boundary layer thickness [3].
one of the most important aspects for heat loss mitigation
study of engines. The local instantaneous heat transfer
characteristics were investigated using an originallydeveloped thin-film RTD sensor (Fig. 1.3) [4]. The MEMS
sensor could clearly detect the cycle-by-cycle heat flux (Fig.
1.4). It was found that the local instantaneous heat flux (heattransfer coefficient) had a strong cycle-to-cycle variabilityof the order of 0.1–1.0 MW/m2 (of 0.1–1.0 kW/(m2⋅K)), not Fig. 1.3 Three-point MEMS heat flux sensor [4].
only in fired operations but also a motored operation. In
addition, it was shown that the heat fluxes at the adjacentpoints exhibited similar but different values, which indicatesthat there were turbulent eddies of sub-millimeter scale andthey affected the local heat transfer. Since the local
instantaneous heat transfer had quite different characteristics
from the average, advanced design and control based on theunderstandings of the local instantaneous characteristics will
be required for the further improvement of the SI & CI Fig. 1.4 Probability distribution of heat flux fora lean fired condition [4].

The Thermal Engineering Conference 2022 of JSME-TED was held on
October 8th (Sat) and 9th (Sun), 2022 at the Hongo Campus of the Universityof Tokyo. General research presentations, etc. were basically face-to-face, butwere carried out in a hybrid format that also used Zoom. This time, it was thefirst face-to-face meeting in four years (2019 canceled due to typhoon, 2020 and
2021 held online due to COVID-19), and 431 people (including invited
speakers) participated. There were 222 academic presentations, 1 special
lecture, and 2 lectures at the thermal engineering workshop held on the sameday. In addition, two keynote lectures were given as invited lectures fromoverseas (Prof. Xing Zhang, Tsinghua University, China and Prof. Sung Jin
Kim, KAIST, Korea).
The academic presentations of the Thermal Engineering Conference
consisted of General Session (GS) and Organized Session (OS), and this time
there were 28 GS presentations and the remaining 194 OS presentations. The
OS accounts for a large proportion of the conference, and we are grateful to theorganizers for their cooperation in organizing the program. A new OS (OS14:
Nanoscale Thermal Control) was added to the existing 13 OSs. There were 19
academic presentations at OS14, and very lively discussions were held. The Thermal Engineering Conference isa research presentation meeting, where outstanding presentations are awarded the Young Excellent Lecture Fellow
Award. There were many young speakers, and 121 presentations, more than half of the total, were judged. Many
judges, including chairpersons of each session, cooperated in this evaluation.
In the special lecture, Mr. Shigeru Muraki, President of the Clean Fuel Ammonia Association, gave a lecture
titled "Challenges in the Era of Great Energy Transformation - Roles of Hydrogen and Ammonia toward Carbon
Neutrality". The regular thermal engineering workshop was held during the lunch break on the first day. Two
industrial researchers gave lectures on the thermal design of semiconductor memory devices and high-precision
measurement of water-cooling modules. A get-together(opinion exchange meeting) was held on the evening of thefirst day, and 110 people participated. Initially, we hadplanned to hold a get-together at the venue on the Universityof Tokyo campus, but due to the influence of the COVID19, the venue was changed to Tokyo Garden Palace. A
social gathering is an important place for communication
between researchers, and its importance is increasing
especially after self-restraint and online life.
We would like to express our gratitude to the many executive committee members and everyone involved in
the Thermal Engineering Conference 2022 who cooperated in the preparation of the venue and the many students
who cooperated in the venue management during the conference.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in interest in digital teaching concepts. Online
platforms such as "EDX" and "LinkedIn Learning" are now widely popular tools for education,
extending beyond primary education. These platforms provide access to high-quality education from anywhere in
the world, making education accessible to people who may have previously had limited access. Moreover, online
and hybrid teaching methods have become the norm for active university students, particularly in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The online platform HeatQuiz, developed collaboratively by RWTH Aachen University (Germany) and the
University of Twente, offers a comprehensive self-study course covering the topics of heat and mass transfer, as
well as thermodynamics. It is freely accessible and uses a visual learning path to guide learners through a series of
micro-lectures, quiz questions as well as tutorial questions with solutions. It also provides access to classicallecture notes, and a book of formularies. While HeatQuiz is designed for self-directed learning, it also forms thebasis of a flipped classroom concept for large courses (with 250 students at the University of Twente and over1000 students at RWTH Aachen University). Duringclassroom sessions, students are encouraged torecapitulate and deepen their knowledge throughdiscussions and everyday examples.
One of HeatQuiz's unique features is its collection ofover 900 quiz questions, which train students to draw
temperature profiles, define view factors and surface
brightness, recapitulate dimensionless numbers, anddevelop energy balances.
The analysis of student performance in the HeatQuiz
learning tool and its comparison with their exam
results highlights a strong correlation between successrates and active participation. In fact, for certain
question types, students who practiced with HeatQuiz
achieved a success rate that was twice as high as those
who did not.
This platform has been proven to be a highly effective
tool for enhancing self-directed learning for students
and other interested learners. In the upcoming years,
the concept is planned to be transferred to moreengineering courses such as mechanics, fluid
mechanics, and elasticity theory. The collaboration
between the universities is an excellent example ofteaching partnership in the digital era.
