Thermodynamics is a discipline of physics that studies the relationship between heat and other forms of energy, and engineering thermodynamics is responsible for putting its principles into practice in all types of machines, systems, processes and fluids. During this week, the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló has brought together 165 researchers, who explained the advances in this field and its importance in the sustainable development of the planet.

Like all the previous meetings held since 1999, the main goal of the 13th National and 4th International Conference on Engineering Thermodynamics (13CNIT), coordinated by Professor Ramón Cabello López of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction, was to disseminate advances in the field of engineering thermodynamics and, in particular, their application to the development and improvement of materials, equipment, systems and processes.

Given the relevance of thermal energy in our society, this discipline plays a fundamental role in achieving processes with high energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact, that is, in ensuring the sustainable development of our society. Its involvement in applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning, thermal engines or solar plants is obvious, but it is also an important part of other technologies, such as those responsible for cooling the batteries in electric cars or the particle accelerators used for fusion.

The plenary lecture was given by Dr Rafael Royo Pastor, from the Universitat Politècncia de València, who spoke about infrared thermography, a technique that allows temperatures to be measured at a distance by capturing the intensity of infrared radiation emitted by bodies (such as that used in night vision goggles). This was then followed by around two hundred scientific papers presented by congress participants from countries such as Poland, Italy, Algeria, Chile and Spain, which addressed a wide range of topics such as heat and mass transfer processes, thermal engines and exergy analysis.

During the opening ceremony, the Vice-Rector for Research of the UJI, Jesús Lancis, highlighted "the important contribution of this discipline to offering solutions that mitigate the impact of human activity on the environment" and the need to organise forums like this one that "give visibility to the work carried out by university scientific staff and make society aware of it". Likewise, the councillor for Institutional Relations of the Castelló de la Plana Town Council, Vicent Sales, underlined the value of this type of meeting, which "places our town on the map of innovation and serves to position it as an attractive place for attracting talent".

The activity was backed by the Valencian Regional Government, Frost-trol and Iberdrola, as premium sponsors, and by the Torrecid Foundation Partnership Programme for Leadership and Innovation, Radiadores Ordóñez and the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction of the UJI.
