International Forum on Frontier Theories of Thermal Science at Tsinghua University (photo above or enlarged) was held in Beijing, China on December 18-20, 2011 (Program). The Forum has been a unique gathering of invited speakers to present innovative ideas and frontier theories in thermal science. Among distinguished invites were five keynote speakers from China (four academicians) and seven international keynote speakers: three from the USA and one each from Japan, United Kingdom, Singapore, and Spain; including six university presidents/vice-presidents and a number of directors of related thermophysics institutes and experts in the field.
The International Forum was open to the public but the speakers were by invitation only. The Forum was sponsored by: National Natural Science Foundation of China, Ministry of Education of China, Heat and Mass Transfer Society of China, and Tsinghua University whose researchers are world-renowned in developing new theories in thermal science. The Forum topics were: (1) Thermomass theory; (2) Irreversible thermodynamics; (3) Nonlocal behavior during heat transfer processes; (4) Phonon gas-dynamics; (5) Entropy vs. Entransy; and (6) Applications in nano-systems and energy efficiency.
