Notes

Welcome from the Chairs

On behalf of the three organizing committees of the ASME 2016 Heat Transfer, Fluids
Engineerng, and Nano-, Micro- and Mini-channels Conference (HT/FE/ICNMM2016), we
welcome you to Washington, D.C., USA. We are excited to have your participation in the HT/
FE/ICNMM Conference; which is a co-location of the traditional Fluids Engineering Division
Summer Meeting (FEDSM), Summer Heat Transfer Conference (SHTC), and the 14th
International Conference of Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels Conference
(ICNMM). These co-located conferences are hosted by two ASME divisions, Heat Transfer
Division and Fluids Engineering Division. Along with FEDSM2016, special events to
celebrate FED 90th Anniversary are also planned.
The co-location of these conferences has attracted considerable interest and participation.
The technical program consists of 423 papers and 828 presentations; with participation of
more than 2,000 authors from close to 50 countries. Additionally, there are nine plenary
lectures; five distinguished speakers from each of the Fluids Engineering Division, Heat
Transfer Division, and ICNMM.
The FEDSM plenary Speakers include: Dr. Patrick J. Roache, Fluids Engineering Award
recipient, Consultant; Prof. Mohamed Gad-El-Hak, Virginia Commonwealth University, Dr.
Joseph T. Arcano, Jr., Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, and Prof. Goodarz With our very best wishes to the

The ICNMM plenary speakers include: Prof. Narayana Aluru, Richard W. Kritzer Distinguished Conference General Chair
Professor in Mechanical Science and Engineering Department and Director of Computational
Science and Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Prof. James L. McGrath,
Biomedical Engineering at University of Rochester, and Prof. Patrick Phelan, Arizona State
University.
Our sincere thanks and gratitude to these speakers for the time and commitment they have
given in generously sharing their knowledge with the attendees.
This HT/FE/ICNMM Conference is a unique opportunity for technical interactions between
international researchers and engineers having interests in a broad spectrum of technical Sumanta Acharya, Heat Transfer
area. Registration for one conference allows attendance at all "three" conferences and Conference General Chair
includes the DVD proceedings for all three conferences, one Award Banquet from any of the
three conferences, three conference lunches, and multiple refreshment breaks.
The outstanding technical program was made possible by the hard work of ASME staff and
many volunteers. We especially want to thank ASME staff: Norma Johnston, Jimmy Le,
Laraine Lee, Nhora Cortes-Comerer, for their dedication, patience, and timely responses to
the many inquiries from authors and organizers and for producing the technical program and
conference proceedings. We are grateful to the track and session organizers, technical
reviewers, and authors for their contributions to an interesting and high-quality technical Ali Beskok, 14th ICNMM General
