Heat and Mass Transfer Serving Society
The heat and mass transfer community is involved innearly all aspects of society since nearly all activities
involve some form of heat or mass transfer. Heat andmass transfer phenomena control energy production,production lines, transportation systems andnumerous activities for our modern lifestyles. Thus,
heat and mass transfer is a vitally important field
where engineers face difficult challenges developing
cutting‐edge technologies for highly efficient energy
systems,
massiveinformation/communicationequipment, high‐value‐added manufacturing, andcomfortable living environments, to name just a few.
The International Heat Transfer Conferences (IHTC) are
the world’s premier conferences for scientists andengineers in the heat and mass transfer researchcommunity. The conferences are convened every fouryears to exchange the latest heat and mass transfer
information. Previous conferences have greatly
enhanced our exchanges of knowledge and experienceand nurtured new and interdisciplinary research areas.
IHTC‐16 will continue the increasingly importantmission of fostering international cooperation and theexchange of ideas among colleagues to solve urgent
problems and improve peoples’ lives in the years
ahead.
We invite forward‐looking scientists, engineers, andresearchers from all over the world to attend the 16th
International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC‐16) inBeijing, China, August 10 to 15, 2018. In addition toexploring traditional research areas, IHTC‐16 will ask
important questions about how we can better serve
society and make this world a better place for allpeople. We face major issues such as ensuring

sustainable development, healthy ageing, sufficient
food for all, and economic growth that need scientificand technological solutions. To do this, we need topromote collaboration to develop new ideas withinterdisciplinary teams developing new solutions fortoday’s problems.
IHTC‐16 will provide participants with unique
opportunities for exchanging new ideas and will
facilitate extensive discussions throughout theconference. We hope that IHTC‐16 will magnify thecontributions of the previous 15 meetings for thebenefit of the international heat and mass transfer
community and all people.
The organizing committee is planning on 4 plenary
lectures, more than 30 keynote lectures and more than
1000 poster presentations from all over the world.
