Heat transfer – a review of 2000 literature

Heat transfer continues to be a major field of interest to engineering and scientific researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. The wealth of applications includes a wide variety of components and systems for energy devices, including general power systems, heat exchangers, high performance gas turbines and other power conversion devices. Other areas of interest include chemical processing, general manufacturing, bio-heat transfer, electronic cooling, comfort heating and cooling, and a number of natural phenomena from upwelling currents in the oceans to heat transport in stellar atmospheres. The present review is intended to encompass the English language heat transfer papers published in 2000. While being exhaustive, some selection is necessary. Many papers reviewed herein relate to the science of heat transfer, including numerical, analytical and experimental works. Others relate to applications where heat transfer plays a major role in not only virtually all man-made devices, but natural systems as well. The papers are grouped into categories and then into subfields within these categories. We restrict ourselves to papers published in reviewed archival journals. Besides reviewing the journal articles in the body of this paper, we also mention important conferences and meetings on heat transfer and related fields, major awards presented in 2000, and books on heat transfer published during the year. The 34th National Heat Transfer Conference on 20– 22 August in Pittsburgh, USA had sessions on enhanced heat transfer in heat exchangers, microscale transport phenomena, heat transfer in electronic systems, inverse problems and porous media. The ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE-2000) was held in Orlando, USA on 15–20 October. The Heat Transfer Division of the ASME organized sessions on heat transfer in turbomachinery, heat transfer enhancement in multiphase flow, CFD in multidimensional two-phase flows, transport phenomena in materials processing, and radiative heat transfer. The ASME Turbo Expo ‘Land, Sea and Air-2000’ held in Munich, Germany had sessions on film cooling and blade internal and external heat transfer. A Symposium on Energy Engineering was conducted in 9–12 January in Hong Kong; sessions covered forced convection, air-conditioning and refrigeration, boiling and condensation, and clean combustion technology. The Fourth ISHMT/ASME Heat and Mass Transfer Conference was held on 12–14 January in Girinagar, India. The 5th International Workshop on Advanced Plasma Tools and Process Engineering was held on 10– 11 February in Santa Clara, USA.
