Book review: Non-linear mass transfer and hydrodynamic stability
Chr. B. Boyadjiev and V. N. Babak, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2000
by J. Hristov
The non-linear mass transfer theory is under an intensive development with serious contribution of theauthors. The book fills a serious gap in the literature
considering the non-linear mass transfer effects andbecomes a logical continuation of well-known ideas
developed by Levich in “Physicochemical hydrodynamics “ and Frank-Kamenetzki in “Diffusion andheat transfer in chemical kinetics” discuss the linear
mass transfer theory only.
In Part I of the book (Chr. Boyadjiev) the nonlinear mass transfer as a result of an intensive interphase mass transfer in the gas (liquid) -solid surface, gas-liquid and liquid-liquid systems is considered. The diffusion boundary layer approximation
as well as in flat channels taking the longitudinal
diffusion into account is considered. The influenceof the direction of the intensive interphase masstransfer on the heat transfer and the multi-component mass transfer is illustrated.
Part II (based on the studies of V. Krylov) discusses the non-linear mass transfer in electrochemical systems with high current density on the examplesof the anode dissolving of metals in the electrolyte
flow and the electro-separation of metals out of concentrated solutions. The theory of the measured electrochemical treatment of metals and alloys, which
is a method of a wide practical use, has been elaborated on this basis.
In Part III (Chr. Boyadjiev) the non-linear masstransfer in the chemically reacting systems is con-sidered in the cases of: non-linearity of the equations of the chemical reaction’s kinetics and intensive interphase mass transfer or thermo-capillaryeffect due to chemical reactions. On this basis, themechanisms and the macro-kinetics of the chemicaltransformations in the gas-liquid systems are discussed.
Part IV (V. Babak) concerns the chemical reaction kinetics in stationary two-phase systems at anarbitrary contact time between phases. The large
concentration gradients induce secondary flows at
the phases interface, which, depending on the direction of the interphase mass transfer, represent suction from or injection into the boundary layer, which
enhances or lowers the hydrodynamic stability of
the flow in the boundary layer.
In Part V (Chr. Boyadjiev) these effects are considered in the approximations of the linear theoryof the hydrodynamic stability of almost parallel
flows. In the systems with intensive interphase masstransfer besides the effect of non-linear mass transfer the Marangoni effect could also show up. A comparative analysis of these two effects is made in thebook.

Report on the 8th Italian National Heat Transfer Conference
Cernobbio, Italy
by Alfonso Niro
The 18th Italian National Heat Transfer Conference
was held in Cernobbio, Italy, and it was organisedby the Politecnico of Milan under the auspices of
UIT, the Italian society for thermal-fluid dynamics.
Since UIT conferences were started in 1983, they
have become established as a premier forum for the
Italian researchers in thermal sciences and heattransfer where scientific and technical ideas may beexchanged.
Cernobbio is a charming town on Lake Comocoast, 5 chilometers from Como itself. For the beautyof the landscape and the richness of the historicalartistic patrimony, the Lake Como is a favorite placeof the international tourist in northern Italy.
The Conference followed broadly the same
pattern as in the late UIT conferences, namely, with
4 invited lectures and the technical papers presented
in 6 Poster Sessions. Each poster session was
introduced by the chairman who gave a criticalpresentation of the contributed papers.

geometric design based on the CFD analysis results.
In his lecture, Prof. Marrucci faced implications risen
on heat transfer by viscoelastic fluids, inasmuch as
most of the industrial chemicals and many fluids inthe food processing and biochemical industries are
viscoelastic and undergo heat exchange process
either during their preparation or in their application
Finally, the last two lectures dealt with two-phaseflow. The former critically considered mesoscale
vs. microscale phenomena in a diabatic bubbly flow,
providing a computational framework to predict bothglobal and local characteristics, such as convective
coefficients and CHF. The latter presented a detailed
and very intersting analysis, supported by visualobservations by means of high speed moovies
support and quantitative measurements, of eventsand mechanisms leading to CHF in subcooled flow
boiling from the onset of thermal crisis up to heaterburnout.

The invited lectures of this year were thefollowing:

The technical papers presented were 77 (41 inEnglish) and most of them showed a good scientificor engineering relevance. The papers wereconcerned with the conference themes as below• Pushing Back the limits for CFD, by Dr. Michael
Engelman, Fluent Inc.
• Some implications of non-newtonian fluid
dynamics on heat transfer, by Prof. Giuseppe
Marrucci, University of Naples Federico II, Italy.
• Multi-scale analysis of diabatic bubbly flow, byProf. Iztok Zun , University of Ljubljana,
Slovenia.
• Visual investigation of boiling phenomena in
CHF subcooled flow boiling, by Dr. Gian Piero
Celata, ENEA, Institute of Thermal-Fluid
Dynamic, Rome, Italy.
The first lecture offered an important point ofview on the state-of-art of CFD technology andresearch activities. Among the challenges for the
CFD developers, the most important ones are arobust interface with CAD and a mesh handlingtechnology, a new mathematical approach with
automatic convergence control and tools for adaptive

thermal-fluid dynamics of single-phase flow
system (21 papers);
thermal-fluid dynamics of two- phase flow
system (19 papers);
computational thermal-fluid dynamics (17papers);heat transfer in high density power plants (9papers);heat transfer in the enviromental control system(7 papers);
bio-fluid dynamics (4 papers).

Among the papers of the first session, 6 papers
reported experimental results obtained by means of
non-intrusive optical methods, ranging fromdynamic thermography to speckle photography,
whereas thermal characteristics of enhanced surfaces
were the object of other 5 papers. In the two-phaseflow session, 5 papers faced boiling problems-3-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.15(2000) / The Japan Society for Multiphase Flow

including bubble dynamics and electric-field effects,
3 papers dealt with convective condensation withboth traditional and new refrigerants, and 4 papers
were concerned with adiabatic two-phase flows.
Among 17 papers of the computational fluiddynamics session, more than half ones (9) reported
on work performed by commercial code, further
confirming that CFD codes are a current tool in theengineering activities. Most papers of the session 4
dealt with modelling of thermal-hydraulicphenomena in fission or fusion reactors. Thermal
analisys of building components were consideredin 5 papers of the session 5, whereas the other two
were concerned with heat transfer in porous media.
Finally, in the bio-fluid dinamyc session two
interesting problems are faced, i.e., a fluid-structure

approach for the study of a pulsatile pump and anumerical investigation of transport and absorption
phenomena of blood solutes.
Finally, the Conference was attended by morethan 100 people, included about 20 foreigners. For
the number of contributed papers and partecipants,
this edition resulted particulary successful.

Report on 4 th Minsk International Seminar “Heat Pipes, Heat Pumps, Refrigerators”
4-7 September, 2000, Minsk, Belarus
by Leonard L. Vasiliev
4-7 September, 2000 in Minsk , Belarus was held
the 4th Minsk International Seminar and Exhibition“Heat Pipes, Heat Pumps, Refigerators”.
This is a Fourth biennial Minsk International Seminar and exhibition “HEAT PIPES, HEAT PUMPS,REFRIGERATORS” since 1993 under the auspices
of NIS Association “Heat Pipes”, Luikov Heat andMass Transfer Institute, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, International Institute of Refrigeration and some other Ministries and Institutions.
The main goal of these meetings is still the same –to provide an opportunity for scientists and engineers particularly from the Former Soviet Union andits neighboring countries to meet the researchers andspecialists from western countries and the world
leading countries in the field of heat pipes, sorption
heat pumps and refrigerators. There are well known
meetings all over the world in the field of heat pipes
and sorption machines. Today International Heat
Pipe Conferences have a very good reputation since1973, the date of the First Heat pipe Conference in
Stuttgart ( Groll, 1973). The next Conferences werein Bologna (Busse, 1976), London (Reay, 1081),
Tsukuba (Oshima, 1984),Grenoble (Curtilla, 1987),
Minsk (Vasiliev, 1990), Beijing (Tongze Ma, 1992),
Albuquerque (Merrigan, 1995), Stuttgart (Groll,1997), Tokyo (Maezawa, 1999).
Heat pumps and refrigerators Conferences such,as Stockholm (Wettermark, 1980), Paris (CEC,
1985), Tokyo (Watanabe, 1991), Paris (Meunier,1992), New Orleans (Redermacher, 1994),
Montreal (Nikanpour, Hosatte, 1996), Munich(Ziegler, 1999).
Minsk International Seminars ( 1993, 1995, 1997,
2000) are a middle size designed scientific meetings oriented on beneficial application of heat pipes
in sorption machines. The main goal of Minsk Seminar is to combine efforts of heat pipe specialists andsorption machines specialists to solve the problemof heat and mass transfer enhancement in nature
friendly heat pumps, refrigerators, heat exchangers
and to improve the ecology of our planet and reduce the energy consumption. The second important problem to solve is the electronic equipment
thermal control (computers, Telecom systems, spaceenvironmental two-phase thermal control technology, et.).
The first reason to this activity with Minsk Seminar foundation was a USSR patent pending No.
174411 “Heat Pipe” ( B. I. 24, 30.06.1992). This
device combines the enhanced heat and mass transfer in conventional heat pipes with sorption phenomena of sorbent bed inside it. It means, that thisdevice could be used as a sorption machine element
and be cooled and heated as a heat pipe.
The 4th Minsk Seminar Proceedings incorporate
50 papers, including 8 invited lectures. Approximately 60 participants attended this Seminar , representing 17 countries, such as:
Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, USA, France, Germany,
Holland, Canada, South Africa, China, Korea, Japan, India, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania.
The contributions were presented as oral lectures,or as posters. If you compare the discussions fromthe meeting in 1993 (First Minsk Seminar) with today program you may be amazed how modest the
progress is: solid sorption machines still are said to
be at the edge of breakthrough and need to be competitive to mechanical vapor compression heatpumps and refrigerators. But heat pipe technology
progress for today is evident - miniature heat pipes
are used in 80% of Notebook Pcs produced in millions in the world.
Heat pipe technology in the near future will be agood opportunity to change the sorption chillers
technology and improve its performance. The most-4-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.15(2000) / The Japan Society for Multiphase Flow

important change in this field is sorption machines
efficiency, compactness and reliability. Unfortunately till now sorption heat pumps and refrigerators are considered as a niche technology not so wellknown for the engineers. Therefore not only the industry, but academia also is responsible of future
progress in this area. We believe that such a way of
dealing with scientific matters will promote personal
contacts, extremely needed for scientists and engi-

neers from East and West European countries andthe world leading countries.

Report on CHISA 2000 Congress, Symposium on Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)
14th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering,by Juraj Kosek, Dalimil Šnita
The CHISA 2000 congress was organizedby the Czech Society of Chemical Engineering. The
congress was composed of 9 general topics and 10
specialized symposia. One of these was Symposiumon Computational Fluid Dynamics whose aim wasto review the latest developments and to provide a
stimulating atmosphere for critical and research initiatives.
The title of the plenary lecture presented by
Prof. H. Van den Akker from Delft University ofTechnology, Netherlands was “Computational fluid
dynamics: more than promise to chemical engineering”. By virtue of recent dazzling growth in computer power, the description of chemical engineering problems in local terms by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics has become quite feasible.
In the plenary lecture, the state of the art of CFD
was presented and illustrated with sample flow fields
obtained via various types of CFD. The relevanceof such simulations for the chemical engineer wasdemonstrated for a number of cases (e.g., chemical
reactors, cyclones, crystallizers). The CFD is thus
becoming the essential tool of chemical engineering.
More than 20 oral and a number of poster
presentations at the Symposium on CFD compromised the following main topics:· General papers· Mixing processes· Multiphase reactors· Heat and mass transport· Applications to reaction engineering· Microfluidics· Turbulence applications· Viscous flows
The lectures at the Symposium on CFD

raised a stimulating discussion on interesting problems, for example:·Large eddy simulations for industrial flows,·Dynamic simulations of multiphase flows inbubble column reactors,·Influence of dispersed solid phase on flow fieldin jet loop reactors,·CFD calculations of two-phase flow on elementsof structured packing,·Application of the Euler/Lagrange approach toliquid-solid flows in stirred vessels,·CFD simulations of particle distribution in an
unbafled high-aspect ratio stirred vessel,·Verification of CFD predictions by tracer experiments,·Estimation of oxygen mass transfer in activatedsludge aeration tanks by CFD modeling,·Simulation of turbulent mixing in precipitation
reactors,·CFD predictions of gas explosions in a baffled,
vented enclosure,·Prediction of flow profiles in rotating basket reactor, etc.
More than 1100 participants and more than
1200 papers have been registered at CHISA 2000.
The full texts of all lectures and posters submitted
to the CHISA 2000 congress were distributed to
all participants on the CD-ROM. The next international CHISA congress will be held in 2002 in
Prague.

Report on the 3rd International Symposium on Turbulence, Heat and Mass Transfer
April 3 - 6, 2000, Nagoya, Japan.
by Y. Nagano
Symposium Co-Chairs:Prof. Y. Nagano, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, and Prof. K. Hanjalic, Delft
University of Technology, The Netherlands

The 3rd International Symposium on Turbulence, Heat and Mass Transfer was held from April
3 to 6, 2000, at the Nagoya Trade and Industry Center (Fukiage Hall), Nagoya, Japan. This triennial
Symposium sought to continue the tradition established earlier in Lisbon, Portugal (1994) and Delft,
The Netherlands (1997), in providing a forum forscientists and engineers from academia and industry who are active in the research of turbulence phenomena related to heat and mass transfer. The Symposium aimed to gather specialists in the field topresent the state-of-the-art and recent progress, toexchange ideas and to discuss current problems,
future needs and prospects. Major topics and new
trends were introduced through the keynote lectures
given by internationally recognized authorities.
We have published the monograph which covers different facets of the broad field: (1) Experiments and theories which elucidate the role of turbulence and its structure in the mechanisms of heatand mass transfer; (2) New experimental techniques
for turbulent flow and heat/mass transport measurements; (3) Turbulence, heat and mass transfer in stagnation and recirculating regions, around separation
and reattachment, and in rotating flows; (4) Unsteadiness and transients in turbulent heat and masstransfer; (5) Heat transfer augmentation by turbulence control; (6) Turbulence in two-phase flows:
effects of turbulence in particulate, droplet and film
heat and mass transfer; (7) Turbulence, heat and masstransfer in combustion and other reacting flows; (8)Direct numerical simulation, and large eddies andsubgrid-scale modelling of turbulence, heat and masstransfer; (9) Turbulence modelling for forced andnatural turbulent convection; (10) Environmental
turbulence; and (11) Turbulence, heat and masstransfer in special applications such as automobile
and aircraft.
We received more than 150 abstracts. In viewof the scheduled time allowed for presentation of
papers in the Symposium, we reluctantly limit the
number of papers to 117, including five keynote lectures. All the submitted papers were reviewed bymembers of the Scientific Advisory Committee andOrganizing Committee, as well as by some otherexperts in the field, to whom we would like to express our thanks and appreciation. The selection of
the papers was made on the basis of quality and scientific impact, as well as the relevance of the topic
to the Symposium themes. As in the previous Symposia, some interesting papers had to be declined tomeet the latter criterion.
This series of Symposia has been organized incooperation with the International Centre for Heatand Mass Transfer (ICHMT). The organization of
the Symposium and publishing of this monographwere supported by the Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya City and the Ministry of Education,

Report on the ASME-ZSITS International Thermal Science Seminar
11 – 14 June, 2000, Bled, Slovenia
by Arthur E. Bergles
The ASME-ZSITS International Thermal Science
Seminar (ITSS), co-sponsored by the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and by
the Association of Mechanical Engineers and Technicians of Slovenia (ZSITS), was held in Bled,
Slovenia, 11 – 14 June, 2000. The seminar was also
co-sponsored by the International Institute for Refrigeration, Commission B1 (IIR/B1), and by the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer(ICHMT).
The ITSS offered an international exchange ofrecent advances in experimental work, theory, design, applications and technology of thermal sciences. About 80 scientists from 30 countries presented their work in two parallel sessions, performedon the following topics: Fundamentals; Numerical;
Energy Systems; Phase Change; Measurement; Enhanced Heat Transfer; Equipment; Heating, Refrigerating & Air Conditioning; and Environmental. 10
keynote lectures were contributed by acknowledged
experts in the field (C. Amon, A. Bejan, D. Didion,
D. Gorenflo, D.B.R. Kenning, J. Meyer, R. A.
Nelson, P. Novak, M. Ohadi and I. Zun). During theseminar a Round Table was organized on the Thermal sciences aspects of renovation and developmentof the south eastern European region (moderated by
E. Ganic).
The ITSS was set up to confirm that thermal science is still of vital importance in this complex world.
In some circles, thermal science, particularly heattransfer, is considered “mature”. The presented papers indicated that, if anything, thermal science isstill on the upswing of the classical S-shaped curve.
New knowledge is constantly being generated andapplied to problems ranging from absorption refrig-

eration systems to zeotropic mixture phase change.
The ITSS came at a time when electronic proceedings and virtual meetings are becoming thenorm. The whole technical publishing situation isvery fluid. The co-chairs had elected to have an actual meeting with paper proceedings – prepared before the meeting. To defer to the new situation adisk containing all the material in the volume wasalso available. The success of this undertaking istested by approximately 80 papers. Further, the Standard Nomenclature was specified, recently adopted
by the major worldwide thermal science journals.
Many papers were concerned with experimental resolution of thermal science problems. Hence
it is appropriate and in keeping with our view thatthe craft of experimentation must be maintained andselected papers on experimental studies will be published in a special issue of the Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science journal.

Report on DROP-SURFACE INTERACTIONS, Advanced School and Workshop
Coordinated by M. Rein, DLR, Germany
by Martin Rein
Drop-Surface Interactions was the topic of an
Advanced School and a Workshop held at the International Center for Mechanical Sciences(CISM) in Udine, Italy, from July 17-21, 2000.
The lectures of the course were given by wellknown experts, namely, M. Lesser (Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden), H.N. Oguz (TheJohns Hopkins University, USA), D. Poulikakos(ETH Zürich, Switzerland), A. Prosperetti (TheJohns Hopkins University, USA and Universityof Twente, The Netherlands), M. Rein (DLR, Germany) and M. Vignes-Adler (LPMDI, Universityof Marne-la-Vallée, France). The participants were
postgraduates, postdocs, mechanical and chemical engineers, and material scientists of universities, research institutions and industrial development departments. The Advanced School on DropSurface Interactions was combined with a Workshop which was held in the late afternoons. The

workshop provided a platform for presenting anddiscussing recent results of the participants in a
lively environment. In this manner an excellent
exchange of ideas was attained.
Practically all aspects of drop-surface interactions were addressed within both the course andthe workshop. Initially, a thorough overview ofboth fluid mechanical and thermodynamic phenomena of drops interacting with liquid and solid
surfaces was provided. Emphasis was laid on distinguishing between different impact scenarios andon the conditions under which certain phenomena
such as splashing and spreading occur. The importance of scaling was stressed and characteristic non-dimensional numbers were introduced. In
addition to the inertia of the approaching drop andto the surface tension of the liquid, also the compressibility, the viscosity and interfacial phenomena were shown to be of great importance. Fur-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.15(2000) / The Japan Society for Multiphase Flowthermore, heat transfer and phase change phenomena were extensively discussed. The physicalbackground of these aspects were introduced andmethods for modelling drop-surface interactions
both theoretically and numerically, were presented.
In particular, the formation of shock waves bothin liquids and solids, cavitation, vorticity generation, sound emission and air entrainment by impinging drops were covered. Furthermore, physicochemical aspects such as the role of surfactantsfor the wetting behavior of drops and the hysteresis of contact angles have been treated in detail.
On the thermodynamic side the dynamic
Leidenfrost phenomenon, non-equilibrium conditions during the solidification of drops and the heat
flux singularity at molten contact lines were considered. Finally, an overview of numerical algorithms for free-surface flows was presented witha particular emphasis on boundary integral formulations and front tracking methods.
CISM´s Palazzo del Torso served as an ideal
environment for both, the Advanced School andthe Workshop. Within the breaks lively discussions
among the participants and the lecturers took
place.The material presented in the course provides a comprehensive picture of the present understanding of drop-surface interactions. It will be
published by CISM and distributed as a text bookby Springer-Verlag Wien New York.

Report on The 3rd Israeli Conference for Conveying and Handling of Particulate Solids
May 29-June 1, 2000, Dead Sea, Israel
by Gabriel Tardos
The conference took place at the Grand Nirvana
Hotel at the Dead Sea in Israel during May 29-June
1, 2000 and was jointly organized with the 10th International Freight Pipeline Society Symposium. The
conference was chaired by Dr Haim Kalman andCo-chaired by Dr Avi Levy, both from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev. They were assisted by an
Israeli based Organizing Committee representing
Israeli industry and academia and by an International
Advisory Board with seventeen members from ten
countries. An exhibition featuring Powder Technology instrumentation and equipment accompanied theconference. The main sponsors included the threemajor technical universities in Israel, Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev, Technion-Israel Instituteof Technology and Tel-Aviv University, the US
National Science Foundation, five Powder Technology societies including the Powder Technology
Forum (PTF) of the AIChE and nine private corporations.
The conference had more than 210 participantsfrom 21 countries. Most participants from abroadwere from Germany (19), USA (17), UK (14) andJapan (12). A total of 19 invited Plenary and Keynote lectures, 84 technical oral presentations and
38 technical posters were presented during the threedays of the conference. In addition, four workshops,
on several topics in the field of Powder Science andTechnology, were held during the forth day followedby an industrial tour to the Dead Sea Works, Ltd.
The proceedings of the conference were editedby Drs H. Kalman, A. Levy and M. Hubert and contain two volumes with about 1010 pages with 146
full papers and eleven extended abstracts. Interested
persons can obtain a copy of the proceedings or only
individual papers by requesting them directly fromthe editor at E-mail Kalman@menix.bgu.ac.il or by
Fax: (972)-7-647-2813. Selected papers from theproceedings will be published by Elsevier in a special volume.
The conference was opened by a plenary session in which Dr. Mike C. Roco, Program Directorof Particulate and Multiphase Systems at the National Science Foundation in the USA, presented athought provoking lecture on “Trends in Particle
Science and Technology@. This was followed byindustrial perspective presented by Dr. Karl V. Jacobfrom the Dow Chemical Company, President of the
Powder Technology Forum of the AIChE. He spoke
about “Particle Technology Past, Present and Future: The industrial perspective”. Individual Sessions
were dedicated to all the important topics in Powder Science and Technology such as Powder Processing, Particle Characterization, Particle Breakage and Comminution, Mechanical and Pneumatic
Conveying, Mixing and Segregation, Powder Storage, Size Enlargement and Agglomeration, Slurry
Transport, Classification, Separation and Dust Control, and Drying. Each topic was then covered by aninvited plenary or keynote speaker and several review and research papers. These topics are also reflected in the chapters of the proceedings. There werefour parallel running sessions of 100 minutes eachduring all three days of the conference with poster
sessions organized during all three days.
A typical response from a participant before theconference: “I have just received the Program forthe 3rd Israeli Conference for Conveying and Handling of Particulate Solids. I must congratulate youfor doing an absolutely marvelous job. You havebeen able to attract a very large number of papers,
including both fundamental and applied industrial
research topics, and involved people from academia,- 13 -

the world. The conference is becoming one of the,if not the, major events in particle technology. A
very impressive job you have done!”
These are some excerpts of comments by several participants that largely represent the overall
impression: “I just want to express my sincere appreciation to everybody concerned for all your efforts in organizing such an excellent conference. You
went to enormous trouble to ensure that everything
was arranged superbly on both the technical andsocial sides. Although it was a huge amount of workfor you, I hope that you will keep on organizing thisseries of conferences. It was one of the best-organized that I have ever attended”. And “I wish to say
how very much we enjoyed the conference at theDead Sea. It was an excellent conference and thehospitality was wonderful. We wish to congratulate you on the organisation of this important eventand thank you very much for all your efforts in making the conference such an enjoyable and happy
occasion”.

Report on the Engineering Foundation Conference Boiling 2000:
Phenomena & Emerging Applications
Anchorage, Alaska, 30 April 2000 - 5 May 2000
by Gian Piero Celata
The United Engineering Foundation has organizedin the wonderful frame of Girdwood, Anchorage,
Alaska, the fourth International Conference on Boiling, titled "Boiling 2000: Phenomena & Emerging
Applications".
This Conference follows the first one held at
Santa Barbara, USA, in March 1992 (Pool and External Flow Boiling), the second held at Banff,
Canada, in May 1995 (Convective Flow Boiling)
and the last one held at Irsee, Germany, in May 1997
(Pool and Flow Boiling).
A total of 33 papers have been presented out of
the scheduled 44, plus 7 keynote lectures, with afinal participation of about 60 people.
Although the participation has been less numerous than previous editions, both in papers presented
and in attendees (maybe the very long trip to thisvery far but beautiful location in Alaska has prevented a higher participation), the 'Boiling 2000'
Conference has matched any expectations which are
typical of United Engineering Foundation Conferences: very specific topics, international leading
experts attending, time available for discussion; highquality of the papers presented.
During the Conference participants had the possibility to:•examine the scientific and technological state-ofthe-art on pool and forced convective boiling;•discuss the recent advances in boiling phenomena(new models, recent experimental data, new correlations, mechanistic models, binary mixtures, etc.);•discuss the emerging applications in boiling (cooling of electronic components, microscale heat transfer, geothermal energy conversion, microgravity,
fluoroinerts, etc.)•identify the phenomenological techniques to extrapolate the knowledge on boiling and on two-phaseflow towards new emerging applications.
Of special interest the keynote lectures, which
are briefly summarized hereunder.

Geoff Hewitt has presented, with the usual
skillness, some research themes which still represent challenges in boiling: he talked about entrainment and deposition rate in annular flow and multicomponent mixture boiling.
James Klausner gave a very complete state-ofthe-art on the modeling of bubble detachment fromthe heated wall and on the analysis on the forces
which play a relevant role in the bubble growth anddetachment under various geometric and thermodynamic conditions.
Paolo Di Marco has presented an excellent survey on pool boiling research in microgravity, showing also the activity of the research group (coordinated by Prof. Walter Grassi) at the University of
Pisa, Department of Energetics; which is a fore-running team in this advanced research topic.
Wataru Nakayama provided a survey of the cooling of electronic systems using boiling of fluids.
John Thome reported a very detailed updatingof two-phase heat transfer modelling based on flow
pattern. The talk has been based on an original andeffective theoretical-experimental approach developed at the Federal Polytechnic Institute of
Lausanne.
Satish Kandlikar presented an updating of heresearch on subcooled boiling CHF, also on the basis of what reported in the very recent Handbook of
Phase-Change: Boiling & Condensation, edited by
the speaker.
David Kenning talked on experimental methods
to get local information on bubble nucleation (temperature fluctuation analysis and thermal excursions
during bubble growth and detachment, etc.)
Contributing papers presented at the Conference
have dealt with typical problems associated with thewhole boiling process, from the onset on boiling up
to the boiling crisis, and have been grouped in thefollowing sessions: evaporative heat transfer, bubble
characteristics in nucleate boiling, pool boiling heat- 14 -

Report on the 38th European Two-Phase Flow Group Meeting
Karlsruhe, 29-31 May 2000
by Gian Piero Celata
The 38th edition of the European Two-Phase Flow
Group Meeting has been organized at Karlsruhe
from May 29 to 31 by Prof. Ulrich Müller and Dr.
Greet Jansenss-Maenhout, Institute für Kern-und
Energietechnik, Karlsruhe.
A total of 53 people attended the Meeting, withsome 30 papers presented. This is the standard sizeof this Meeting, which is characterized by the following features:•informality: papers are brought in a sufficient number of copies by participants at the registration, thus
representing the very last minute results of the research;•discussion: this is a very important aspect of the
Meeting which is held in plenary session for all presentations;•possibility to learn and redirect research: presenting last minute results, it is possible from discussion with leading experts and other colleagues toget back with new information to possibly re-orient
the research program; this is usually not possible atformal Conferences where, because of the publication of Proceedings, it is necessary to submit the
paper almost a year in advance.
Participation at the Meeting is by invitation
through the National delegates. Information about
he European Two-Phase Flow Group Meetings isposted in Internet at :http:/termserv.casaccia.enea.it/eurotherm/
etpfgm.html
The Meeting in Karlsruhe presented a very wellbalanced presence of people, in terms of young scientists and leading experts, and proved to be a very
good 'round table discussion' of works in progress,
with an interesting mixing of basic background andnew enthusiasm.
The topics which papers presented have beengrouped in are: boiling, condensation, numericalsimulation, flow pattern transition, unsteady phasechange, bubbly flow.
The complete list of papers presented is available in Internet at:
http://termserv.casaccia.enea.it/eurotherm/

2000.html
where abstracts can be downloaded.
The Meeting has been closed with a plenary discussion chaired by Dr. Gian Piero Celata, where thegeneral themes of the two-phase flow community
have been debated. In particular, problems associated with funding of research from the European
Union have been discussed, together with the interaction between experimental and theoretical research. This latter, being characterized by the availability of more and more powerful computers andlow costs of investment, is tending to deal with more
and more complex schematizations and calculations
which require a more detailed and deepened experimentation for comparison and assessment. This,obviously, requires more funding and represents atechnical challenge.
The 39th Meeting of the European Two-Phase
Flow Group will be held at Aveiro, Portugal, from17 to 20 June, 2001.
During the Karlsruhe Meeting, a group of people(Besnard, Celata, Delhaye, Giot, Hewitt,
Schulenberg and Sehgal) founded a new European
Scientific Institute, named EMSI (European
Multiphase Systems Institute), which aims and objectives are:promotion and fostering, through research, discussion and knowledge transfer, of multiphase systems understanding for various applications;to encourage the creation of co-operative
projects throughout European Countries, with strong
connection with the European Union.
EMSI will be in Europe something similar towhat IMuST is in the United States (http://
crss.crss.ucsb.edu/imust/). Further detailed information will be given in the ICeM Newsletter as soon
as EMSI will be operating.

The 3rd, 4th and 5th symposiums were also organizedby Institute for Thermal Science and Engineering,
Tsinghua University, and presided by Professor B.X.
Wang in 1992, 1996 and 2000. The proceedings ofthe 1st and 2nd symposiums were published as Heat
Transfer Science and Technology series by Hemisphere Publishing Corporation and the following
ones published by Higher Education Press, Beijing.
The series of ISHT’ Beijing provided a valuable
forum for the international exchange of information
on new ideas, new methods and new developmentsin the field of heat transfer.
As we begin the new millenium, the rapid advances in processing techniques, the rapid accumulation of new knowledge, the impressive improvements in research capabilities and the importanceof environmental factors have provided many opportunities for the research community as they face
the challenges of the 21st century. It would be much
valuable to have a new forum for exchanging information.
The 5th symposium, with the permission of Min-

istry of Education (MOE) and the financial supporting of NSF of China, was held as scheduled during
August 12-16, 2000, at Xijiao Hotel in Beijing,where many universities and institutes such as
Tsinghua University, Peking University and Chinese
Academy of Sciences are located nearby. The proceedings included 8 invited keynotes and 125 general papers carefully selected from 152 submitted
abstracts. The attendants came from 13 countries,
namely Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Sweden,
UK and USA as well as China, mostly from otherthan the mainland of China. Most papers are involved in the fundamentals on two-phase flow, flow
boiling and condensation, fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media, and associated application developments. Measuring and analyzing methods forheat transfer in microscale are also presented in this
symposium.

Report on 8th International Conference on PRESSURE SURGES
Safe Design and Operation of Industrial Pipe Systems
The Hague, The Netherlands: 12-14 April, 2000
by Catherine Cox
The 8th Conference in the Pressure Surges series,
Safe Design and Operation of Industrial Pipe Systems , was held in The Hague, The Netherlands. In
spite of a very full programme, with over 40 international presentations, 3 new sessions were successfully introduced to the programme.
The first was a panel session in which several
authors were given just 5 minutes in which to present
their findings, all in a related field, followed by aquestion and answer session. Congratulations werein order to the speakers who not only managed to
put across their message succinctly but kept to time.
The second new feature allowed delegates theopportunity to present ‘Work in Progress’. This introduced up to the minute data from on-going work
which normally would not be included in the
programme. Several delegates took the opportunity to present their findings.
The third innovation was an Open Discussion
Forum where three controversial questions wereposed to the audience prior to the conference. Bryan
Karney from the University of Toronto led this lively

session in a very able and entertaining manner.
A number of keynote speeches were given during the 2½ day conference. Fred Locher of Bechtel
Corporation in the USA began the proceedings withhis speech entitled ‘Caution: Pressure Surges in Process and Industrial Systems May be Fatal’. This
proved to be a very interesting and thought provoking presentation to open the Conference. Other keynote speeches given were: ‘Rapid Expulsion of Entrapped Air Through an Orifice’ by Sam Martin ofGeorgia Institute of Technology; ‘Celebrations andChallenges – Waterhammer at the Start of the 20thand 21st Centuries’ by Sandy Anderson, Universityof Newcastle upon Tyne; ‘The Simulation of Time
Dependent Flows Within Building Utility Services
Systems’ by John Swaffield, Heriot-Watt University, ‘Advances in Unsteady Friction Modelling inTransient Pipe Flow’ by Angus Simpson, University of Adelaide and ‘FSI Research in The Netherlands’ by Arris Tijsseling of Eindhoven Universityof Technology.
On a sad note, Hans Horlacher of the Technical- 16 -

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.15(2000) / The Japan Society for Multiphase Flow

University of Dresden gave a moving speech in celebration of the life of Dr Harald Graze, formerly of
the University of Melbourne. Dr Graze was wellknown and respected in the field of Surge Control
and in particular by regular attendees of thisConfererence and will be sorely missed.
To complement the Technical sessions, the delegates were able to enjoy some relaxation time, an
opportunity to renew friendships and make new onesat the drinks reception (sponsored by Goodwins
International Limited) and at the conference dinner.

The highlight of the latter was the presentation oflight-hearted conference ‘awards’ after the meal.
The planning of the 9th Conference will soon
be underway and potential delegates and presentersshould contact BHR Group to ensure they receive
information in due course.

Report on the 2nd Japanese-European Two-Phase Flow Group Meeting
September 25-29, 2000, Tsukuba, Japan
by Goichi Matsui, Iztok Zun and Gian
The Second Japanese-European Two-Phase Flow
Group Meeting was held in Tsukuba, Japan, twoyears after the first meeting in Portoroz, Slovenia.
The meeting attracted over 70 participants from 13
different countries. The main aim of the meeting
was to promote the information exchange and/or
collaboration between European Two-Phase Flow
Group and Japanese two-phase flow scientists andengineers. The total number of invited contributions
was 51, 17 from Europe. Among those, there were
5 joint European-Japanese or Japanese European
papers. The following countries formally participated at the Tsukuba Meeting: Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Portugal,
Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and UK. The scientific content of the meeting was divided in the following topics: Boiling and Heat Transfer (10 papers), Measurement (10), Bubble and Turbulent
Diffusion (3), Numerical Simulation (9), Flow Pattern (3), Dispersed Flow (8), Stratified Flow (2),Control and Environment (3) and Applications (3).
The titles of papers suggest that two-phase flow research grows in new directions. The trends are remarkable in the fields of measurement, simulation
and application. The abstract volume was distributed in the meeting but the proceedings of the meeting are printed on CD-ROM after the meeting. The
total number of participants and contributions increased and the meeting was active and fruitful.
Moreover, the useful interchange in various senses
was promoted during the meeting.
The organizers are fully indebted to the following sponsors (in alphabetical order): CASIO Science Promotion Foundation, Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, The JapaneseSociety for Multiphase Flow, The Tsukuba EXPO'85
Memorial Foundation, and to The University ofTsukuba.
It was decided to continue the series of joint
meetings every three years under the umbrella of

The European Multiphase Systems Institute (EMSI)
and The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flow
(JSMF). The third meeting is scheduled for 2003 in
Certosa di Pontignano, Siena, Italy. The contact
persons are Dr. G. P. Celata, Prof. A. Tomiyama
