Dr. John S. Maulbetsch
he Heat Transfer Division (HTD) had its share of successes and challenges during the 2019 – 2020 year. The primary activities continued to be the contribution of knowledge by the larger heat transfer community through the conduct of two major events and through the support and publication of three important Journals. The first of the events was the 2019 Summer Heat Transfer Conference, held in Bellevue, Washington in July, 2019. It was chaired by Professor Sati Sadhal of the University of Southern California with Professor Sandra Boetcher of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University as the Technical Program Chair. It was co-located with the 13th International Conference on Energy Sustainability. There were 60 Technical Sessions with approximately 250 papers and presentations organized and moderated by 47 members of the Division acting as Track Organizers plus a similar number of Session Organizers. Additional highlights included:
• Two tutorials: Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification and
Computational Approaches for Solving Inverse Heat Transfer Problems.
• Five Panels: Heat Transfer Education; Role of Heat Transfer Analysis on Energy
Systems Research; Lifecycle of Industrial Heat Exchangers from Concept to Trouble-Free Operation; Funding Opportunities in Heat/Mass Transfer and Energy Systems led by representatives from the National Science Foundation and the Oak Ridge National Labs; and Women in Heat Transfer, a very well attended panel followed by vigorous discussion organized by Dr. Leslie Phinney of Sandia National Labs.
The meeting also furthered two of the Division’s organizational objectives for the year. One was the renewal of the collaboration with the American Institute of Chemical Engineering (AIChE) in our summer meetings. Two noteworthy events as the result of this collaboration were the AIChE Symposium in Honor of Professor Peter C. Wayner, Jr. of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the award of the 2018 Donald Q Kern Award, an award sponsored by AIChE to Professor Yogendra Joshi of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Professor Joshi’s Plenary Lecture.
A second objective was increased emphasis on industrial participation in the Division’s activities, highlighted at the meeting by a Plenary Talk by Dr. Lesia Protsalio, Senior Director, Emerging Technologies Program Office, United Technologies Research Center entitled An Industry Perspective on Aerospace Technology Needs and Trends.
Finally an important and well-attended Workshop, co-sponsored by HTD and AIChE, was conducted in conjunction with the International Conference on Energy Sustainability on CO2 Capture and Utilization on the Sunday preceding the meeting.
Second, HTD was a major contributor to, and participant in, the IMECE held in Salt Lake City, Utah in November. The Division’s activities were organized and led by Track Chairs Dr. Kevin Dowding of Sandia National Laboratory and Professor Brent Webb of Brigham Young University. The Technical Program Chair was Prof. Yuwen Zhang of the University of Missouri. Over 70 members of the Division collaborated to assemble and moderate the 39 technical sessions, two Plenary Talks and one Panel. Approximately 185 papers or technical presentations were given over the course of four days. The Plenary Lectures were “Using Additive Manufacturing to Advance Designs in Convective Cooling” by Professor Karen Thole of the Pennsylvania State University and “Nanowarming for Regenerative Medicine” by Professor John Bischof of the University of Minnesota, together illustrating the broad scope of the field of heat transfer
The Panel, entitled “Engaging with the HTD, the Technical Committees and Within ASME” was intended as an introduction to the Division and the Society for students, new members and first–time participants. This may be a recurring event at future conferences.
Additional results and advances in heat transfer were disseminated widely through the Journal of Heat Transfer (JHT), edited by Professor Portonovo Ayyaswamy, currently at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Journal Thermal Science, Engineering and Applications (JTSEA), edited by Professor Srinath Ekkad of North Carolina State University and the Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (JVVUQ), edited by Dr. Christopher Freitas at the Southwest Research Institute. We welcome Dr. Freitas as the new Editor (2019 – 2024) and gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Professor Ashley Emery of the University of Washington who led the Journal from 2015 to 2019. Additional information on these Journals is found elsewhere in this Newsletter. IMECE2019 included the Heat Transfer Awards Luncheon at which several members of the Division were recognized and honored for their achievements and contributions to the field. The three Heat Transfer Memorial Awards highlighting the categories of Science, Art and General contributions to the field went to Professor Sati Sadhal from the University of Southern California in the Science category; to Professor Derejee Agonafer from the University of Texas at Arlington in the Art category; and to Professor James Klausner of Michigan State University in the General category. The Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award was presented to Dr. Yongjie Hu of the University of California, Los Angeles. Additional information about the recipients and the contributions for which they were honored is given elsewhere in the Newsletter.
Of particular note was the award of the first Richard J. Goldstein Energy Lecture Award to Professor Steven Chu of Stanford University, Nobel Laureate and former Secretary of Energy. While not a Division award, this ASME Society Award was established by Dick Goldstein, a former Chairman of the Heat Transfer Division, former President of ASME and a friend and colleague to many of us for the past several decades. The Division played, and will continue to play, a role in selecting the awardees.
As noted in last year’s Newsletter, the Society had been working on a reorganization of the technical structure including the umbrella Technical Events Committee and the several segments including the Engineering Sciences Segment of which the Division is one member. This process continued under the leadership of Mike Johnson, ASME’s new Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) who has engaged leadership from all Divisions to solicit bottoms up input and concurrence on a proposed technical community alignment proposal with objective of enhancing inter-Divisional collaboration and encourage attention to the Society’s five Strategic Technologies of Bioengineering, Pressure Technology, Clean Energy, Manufacturing and Robotics. HTD leaders participated in on-line discussions and at the Group Leadership Development Conference (GLDC). Final recommendations are expected in the fall.
As a final note, the Division has faced the challenge of operating during a global pandemic as have all groups and organizations across the nation and around the world. It was particularly difficult as it affected the organization of, and planning for, our summer meeting SHTC-2020 which was scheduled for Orlando, Florida, in July. While more properly the subject for next year’s Newsletter, I simply say that the meeting went forward in an on-line, virtual format. While successful, it was surely the source of disappointment for many of our members who were unable to give a live, interactive presentation of work they had worked hard to complete and to prepare detailed papers and presentations.
In closing, I have been pleased and honored to have served as Chair of the Division for the past year. I have been greatly supported by my colleagues on the Executive Committee and by ASME leadership and staff. The Division is robust, energetic and well positioned for continuing activity and achievement. I look forward to continuing involvement and participation in the Division’s future. With high regard and best wishes,

Ephraim Sparrow
2020
Dear Heat Transfer Community Members,
It is with great sadness we received the news that Professor Ephraim M. Sparrow passed away on August 1, 2019 in Minneapolis, MN. Dr. Sparrow dedicated his life to heat transfer education and research and worked tirelessly until the very end. He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota in 1959. At the age of 91, after 60 years at Minnesota, he was still very active in teaching and writing papers.
In recent years he had begun to devote more time on industrial applications over a broad spectrum of mechanical engineering. He received his BS (1948) and MS (1949) in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and subsequently MA (1950) and PhD (1952) in Mechanical Engineering from Harvard University. Needless to say that the Heat Transfer community has lost one of its greats.
A memorial lecture and remembrance was held virtually on September 23, 2020. Family, friends, and former students near and far gathered to share memories of Eph. A memorial page has been created in his honor:
https://cse.umn.edu/me/remembering-ephraim-sparrow
2019
He was the Editor-in-Chief of WSPC’s Encyclopedia of Thermal Packaging and the co-editor of its Advanced Integration and Packaging book series. He co-authored Dielectric Liquid Cooling of Immersed Components (WSPC, 2013), Design and Analysis of Heat Sinks (Wiley, 1995), and Thermal Analysis and Control of Electronic Equipment (McGraw-Hill, 1983), and has edited/co-edited another 28 books in this field. He holds several patents and advised to completion 70 master’s and PhD students at the University of Maryland, the University of Minnesota, and the Ben Gurion University (Beer Sheva, Israel), where he began his academic career in 1972. His many research and educational recognitions in Heat Transfer included the Luikov Medal from the International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (2008), and ASME’s Heat Transfer Memorial Award (1999), Edwin F. Church Medal (1994), and Worcester Reed Warner Medal (1990). For his activities with IEEE, he was honored with the prestigious CPMT Field Award (2014), CPMT Society’s Outstanding Sustained Technical Contributions Award (2002), ITHERM Achievement Award (1998) and the THERMI Award (1997). From 2001 to 2010 Professor Bar-Cohen served as the Chair of Mechanical Engineering and Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, and was on a leave-of-absence from that institution while serving as a Principal Engineering Fellow at Raytheon.Professor Bar-Cohen has touched many lives both professionally and otherwise, and imparted to us his knowledge and wisdom that the Heat Transfer Community greatly appreciates. We will truly feel the loss.

A report on conference participation
by the Heat Transfer Division
This year’s Summer Heat Transfer Conference (SHTC2020) was noteworthy, in part, by being the first large ASME Conference held virtually as a result of constraints imposed by the COVID19 pandemic. It took place from July 13th through the 15th and was held in combination with the Fluids Engineering Division (FED2020) and the International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels and Mininchannels (ICNMM). Original HTD offerings for the conference of full papers and “presentation only” submissions numbered over two hundred with a good distribution among the several K-Committee topic areas. However, when the final decision to hold the conference in virtual format was announced and required that all but the plenary and keynote presentations would be prerecorded not viewable live during the meeting, approximately half were withdrawn for submission at a later conference. The recorded presentations that were submitted are accessible through the Conference Website and will continue to be through mid-October.
Highlights of the virtual meeting were plenary talks by Prof. Webb Marner on the contributions of Professors Boelter and McAdams and by Prof. Francis Kulacki, Kern Award winner on “Boiling of Dilute Emulsions: Mechanisms and Applications”. In addition, a Panel Discussion was held addressing Student Career Opportunities, organized by Dr. Columbia Mishra, the conference Technical Chair.
On balance, the conference succeeded in the new virtual format and provided an introduction and experience for similar formats for future meetings including IMECE in November.

The K-6 Heat Transfer in Energy Systems Committee has grown to 56 active members from universities, government laboratories and research centers, and the private sector. The committee is actively engaged in organizing technical sessions, panel discussions, and workshops at ASME conferences to share research and promote advances in energy systems technologies.
IMECE 2019 (Salt Lake City, UT): K-6 sponsored seven technical sessions on topics including: numerical methods for energy systems, energy system dynamics, radiation transport, solar energy, and passive thermal control. These sessions included 33 total submissions. Additionally, K6 sponsored a panel discussion on The Key Role of Heat Transfer in Energy Systems Research organized and moderated by Prof. Nesrin Ozalp. Panel members included: Dr. Peiwen Li (University of Arizona), Dr. Srinath Ekkad (North Carolina State University), Dr. S.A. Sherif (University of Florida), and Dr. Alex Rattner (Penn State University).
SHTC 2020 (Online): K-6 initially sponsored technical sessions in: thermal energy storage, thermal management of battery systems, waste heat recovery, transport in heating, cooling, and power systems, and heat transfer in renewable systems. In total 44 papers and presentations were submitted. The final technical program was unfortunately condensed as the conference transitioned to an online mode. K-6 is exploring ways to maintain high levels of community engagement in the coming year and future in-person conferences.

The K-7 Committee on Thermophysical Properties is currently looking for a Vice Chair, Secretary, and new members. Troy Munro ([email protected]), an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University, will take over as Chair at the IMECE conference. The committee’s goal is to vastly increase committee membership and participation at ASME conference by having more focused sessions sponsored on specific properties and specific applications areas.
With the SHTC conference being presented as pre-recorded presentations, we sponsored 1 sessions, with 3 presentations. At the 2019 IMECE, K-7 sponsored two sessions on “Spatially resolved thermophysical property measurements” and “Thermophysical properties of next-generation thermal storage materials.” At the 2020 IMECE, K-7 we are sponsoring a single session. We encourage ASME member interested in these topics to join the K-7 committee.
We are also making plans for the 21st Symposium on Thermophysical Properties to be held June 20-25, 2021 and encourage submissions by November 22, 2020.

The K‐8 Committee was very active in interacting with ASME, HTD Executive Committee, and in sponsoring sessions at the two leading ASME heat transfer conferences: the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE 2019), and the Summer Heat Transfer Conference (SHTC 2020).
At IMECE 2019 (Salt Lake City, UT), there were twenty‐two papers/presentations in five sessions. Most of the K‐8 sessions on
Fundamentals of Boiling, Evaporation, and Condensation including Micro/Nano‐scale Effects and Fundamentals of Electron and Phonon Nonequilibrium Transport were assessed, during its committee meeting (which was both in‐person and online), to be well attended and of good quality. At SHTC 2020, we had ‐ going in – three sessions with 14 papers, but after the conference became online, only eight were presented as pre‐
recorded papers. The committee is hosting three sessions at IMECE 2021 with a total of 11 papers. The committee expects to be back to its normal levels of activities by SHTC 2021. Several committee members – including Professors Van Carey, Vaibhav Bahadur, Navdeep Dhillon, and Xiulin Ruan provided exemplary leadership and service offering topics, tracks, and sessions. At SHTC‐2021, Professor Amitabh Narain will step down and Professor Diana‐Andra‐Borca‐Tascuic, RPI will begin leading K‐8 as its chair. The committee plans to elect a new Vice‐chair before SHTC‐2021.

It has been a great first year for me as the new Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications (JTSEA). I had a steep learning curve but I am thankful that the Journal was in the best possible position to grow further primarily because of my predecessor, Dr. SA Sherif. I am very thankful to his leadership and stewardship of the journal and making it easy for me to come on board. He was always available when I had even trivial questions in my early days as Editor. I am also writing this report during the difficult time our world is facing. The COVID-19 crisis is unlike any other we have seen in our lifetimes and is affecting every nation and community around the world. I am also seeing that researchers are continuing to work on important problems even during these times and papers are being submitted almost daily. The AEs are continually processing the papers and reviewers are responding even during lockdowns. This has left me amazed and humbled. The quality of the work that is being submitted is excellent and the quality of the reviews and feedback is also excellent. This ensures that we continue to publish excellent work in JTSEA. My kudos to the many authors who continue to focus on valuable thermal science problems and help provide solutions to problems that humanity

The journal continued its growth in 2019 and 2020. In 2019, the JTSEA published six issues with 1200 published pages (up from 1000 pages in 2018). This growth continues in 2020 with another 1200 pages expected to be published. The total number of submitted papers in 2019 was 626. Only 24% of all submitted papers were accepted with the rejection rate standing at 62% at the time this write-up is prepared. There are only 13 2019- papers at different stages of the review process. When these papers are processed, it is expected that the acceptance and rejection rates will be very close to the 2018 rates of 20% and 80%, respectively. The amount of time from submission to publication has been cut down to 5.87 months in 2019 (down from 6.65 months in 2018). There are currently one special issue in progress. One special issue was published in February 2020. This special issue on the “11th International Conference on Thermal Engineering: Theory and Applications (ICTEA-11)” had a total of eight papers. The Guest Editors for that issue were Professor Ziad Saghir of Ryerson University (Canada) and Professor Ibrahim Hassan of Texas A&M University at Qatar. A second special issue in progress is on “Micro/Nanoscale Heat and Mass Transfer.” It will contain selected papers from the 6th ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat & Mass Transfer International Conference (MNHMT2019) which will be held in Dalian, China, from July 8 – 10, 2019. The Guest Editors are Professor Hongbin Ma of the University of Missouri along with Professors Yongchen Song and Xuehu Ma both of Dalian University of Technology, China. This issue will be published in December 2020 with 15 papers to be included in it. One of the papers with similar content not presented at the conference is also included in this special issue.
