"Everything was beyond our expectations: intellectually stimulating, culturally enriching, and otherwise entertaining (Prof. Kostic and his wife)."

Purpose of the trip was to discuss some challenging issues, fundamentals and applications in Thermoscience (Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer) with emphasis on Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics, including concepts of Thermal-energy, Exergy and Entransy, as well as concept of Thermomass and electromagnetic nature of thermo-mechanical energy transfer (extension of Kostic's 2011 Forum presentation). Also to be discussed are critical issues in energy applications, some novel concepts for improvement of efficiency in energy conversion, including thermal power plants and buildings, and advances in nanofluids, as related to couple of Kostic's patents.
