| MANDATE |
The committee’s principal mandate is to represent CSME members active within the thermal science and engineering sector. A major duty is to organize a Symposium on Heat Transfer (SHT) at the annual CSME Congress; other responsibilities include the promotion of TC opportunities within the thermal science and engineering community, participation in the SHT through submission and/or review of papers, and communication with the Canadian thermal science and engineering community. The committee is also responsible for nominating delegates, when positions are open, to represent the Candian Heat Transfer Community on both the Assembly for the International Heat Transfer Conference (AIHTC) - 2 delegates, and the International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) - 1 delegate. |
| KEYWORDS |
boiling, condensation, conduction, convection, heat exchanger, melting, phase change, solidification, thermal design, thermal engineering, radiation. |
