TOPICS

 

The conference will cover traditional areas of thermophysics, i.e. measurement, theory, modeling and applications in technology, heat transport and thermodynamics of solids and fluids.

• Thermophysical properties of solids with special focus on emissivity and thermal radiation properties, heat transport on nano-scale and in ultra short times, nano-materials, multi-functional materials, composites, ceramics, porous materials, thermal insulation, soft materials.
• Thermophysical properties of fluids with special focus on near critical and super critical fluids, interfacial properties, phase equilibria, petroleum fluids, environmentally friendly fluids, polymers, biomaterials, ionic fluids.
• Theory and modeling with special focus on heat transport in heterogeneous multicomponent materials (composites, porous structures, layered structures), combined mechanism of heat transport (radiation, conduction, convection), heat transport in medium under transformation, inverse problems, theory of fluids, equation of state, molecular dynamics, transport properties in fluids.
• Multi-property measuring techniques and devices/instruments with special focus on thermal conductivity/diffusivity sensors, dynamic and transient measuring techniques, methodology of data acquisition, dilatometry, advances in calorimetry techniques.
• Thermophysics for engineering applications with special focus on sintering processes, polymerization, casting, plasma spraying, refrigerant techniques, thermoelectric cooling, insulation structures in civil engineering.
