1. Brief history
Heat and Mass Transfer Society of Taiwan (hereby“HMTST”) was established in Hsinchu, Taiwan in 2016. As
an international, professional, non-governmental, and nonprofit organization, HMTST aims to facilitate advances in thefields of mechanical engineering in industry and academia.
For this purpose, HMTST proactively interacts with world’s
leading researchers by participating international researchorganization, and devotes in contributing networking for
researchers in Taiwan.

4. Major events
HMTST has organized 7 workshops and one international conference by the end of 2022. A briefsummary is illustrated below:(1) Workshop
HMTST hosts workshops regularly.
The workshops provide an important
platform for specialists from academia,
industry or government sections to exchange
opinions, brainstorm, and investigate
potential cooperation.

2. Core missions
HMTST has six missions. These missions aim to offer
good chances for specialists to interact with each other andactivate further potential cooperation. HMTST also confers
awards to scientists in honor of their achievements.

(2) International conference
Participants were from Japan, South
Korea, U.S., Australia, and Taiwan. Topicsof the conference included combustion,
computational fluid dynamic, electronics
cooling, functional and complex fluids, laser
fabrication, phase change heat transfer,phonon transport, power generation system,
renewable energy, thermal radiation,transport phenomena in manufacturing,emerging topics of thermofluids. The
conference ended with fruitful results:
 Bring in latest researches from world’s
leadingscientists
andexpandinternational visibility of Taiwan;
 Share applications and breakthrough in relevant fields;
 Increase cooperation and interaction with neighbor countries
Poster presentation for students was held
together with the international conference.
Students were offered opportunities topresent their work to the participants andreceive various and valuable feedback.
