description abstract | The papers selected from those presented at the conference were reviewed following the criteria set by the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer and are published in this special volume. These papers reflect the contemporary research and findings in a broad spectrum of micro/nanoscale heat and mass transfer with both fundamental and applied research by theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods. It is hoped that these papers will serve as valuable references for fundamentals and applications of thermal and fluid transport phenomena at the micro/nanoscales. We would like to thank the Board of Conference, International Advisory Committee, Technical Program Committee, Organizing Committee, and all the Track and Session Chairs for promoting and organizing the conference. Thanks are also extended to all of the reviewers who have provided their critical comments. Special thanks are owed to the Journal’s Editor Portonovo Ayyaswamy, who has provided tremendous encouragement and support in making this special issue possible. | |
