CBET-0829057TaoPartial support is provided for the US-EU-China Thermophysics Conference-Renewable Energy (UECTC-RE), which will be held in Beijing, China, on May 28 - 30, 2009. The purpose of this meeting is to engage a diverse international community of researchers in the general field of thermophysics and renewable energy.With respect to the intellectual merit of the conference, increasing the adoption of renewable energy technologies is inhibited by a lack of fundamental understanding of thermofluid transport processes. Researchers in various countries are working on different aspects of these issues, but there are limited opportunities for them to communicate their research with one another, particularly in an interdisciplinary environment. The subjects of particular interest in this conference include renewable energy conversion processes, the built environment, computational simulations, nanotechnology, energy storage, industrial opportunities, and challenges in standards and marketing.The broader impacts of the conference include engaging the international thermophysics research community, in particular Chinese researchers, in this vital subject of renewable energy. The European community will also be involved. The majority of the NSF funding will be used to support US-based junior investigators and those from under-represented groups. This conference could lead to enhanced collaborations among US, Chinese, and European thermophysics researchers in renewable energy. This project is jointly funded by the Thermal Transport Processes (TTP) Program, and by the Energy for Sustainability Program, of the Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) Division.

CBET-0829057Tao为美国-欧盟-中国热物理会议-可再生能源(UECTC-RE)提供部分支持，该会议将于2009年5月28日至30日在中国北京举行。本次会议的目的是让热物理学和可再生能源一般领域的多元化国际研究人员群体。就会议的智力价值而言，可再生能源技术的采用因缺乏对热流体传输过程的基本了解。 不同国家的研究人员正在研究这些问题的不同方面，但他们相互交流研究的机会有限，特别是在跨学科环境中。 本次会议特别感兴趣的主题包括可再生能源转换过程、建筑环境、计算模拟、纳米技术、能源存储、工业机遇以及标准和营销方面的挑战。会议的更广泛影响包括吸引国际热物理学研究界、特别是中国研究人员在可再生能源这个重要课题上的研究。 欧洲社会也将参与其中。 国家科学基金会的大部分资金将用于支持美国的初级研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员。 这次会议可能会加强美国、中国和欧洲热物理学研究人员在可再生能源领域的合作。 该项目由化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统 (CBET) 部门的热传输过程 (TTP) 计划和可持续发展能源计划共同资助。
