LETTERFROM THE

CHAIRDr. Sumanta Acharya

has been a distinct honor to serve as the Chair of the Heat Transfer Division(HTD) for the 2016-17 year. In the last two years, as ASME dismantled theorganizational structure in the Knowledge and Communities Sector, and groupedDivisions under four separate segments (now five) that reported to a Technical EventsCommittee (TEC), the various Divisions, including the HTD, have tried, albeitreluctantly at first, to realign with the new ONE ASME approach. The reorganization, asinitially conceived, has continued to evolve with input from the volunteer groups, and isstill trying to find the right approach that will make the programming of events andconferences more meaningful for the technical community and financially sustainablefor ASME. If anything, the radical push toward a new approach has generated muchsubsequent discourse—some quite passionate, and as the dust settles, I am optimisticthat we will evolve into a better way of doing things, with the Divisions working moreclosely together. The HTD has been a leader in these discussions, and many HTDmembers have contributed greatly to the evolving structure and operation of thedivisions, events and conferences. I want to thank all the HTD members for theirengagement in the process, and encourage them to stay engaged. The HTD has beenour home for our entire professional careers, and for some, over six decades. It isimperative that we all work hard to ensure that our community is served well.

As many of you know, the five segments in the ASME are: (1) theEngineering Sciences Segment (ESS) (2) the Energy Sources andProcessing Segment (ESP) (3) the Energy Conversion and StorageSegment (ECS) (4) the Design, Materials and Manufacturing Segment(DMMS) and (5) the Gas Turbine Segment (GTS). The HTD is in the ESSalong with Fluids, Bioengineering and several others. The HTD ExecutiveCommittee (EC) has made some efforts in the last two years to push for anindependent segment that integrates the programming in heat transfer,fluids and process industry divisions.ASME has also made a strategic decision to focus on five key coretechnology areas—Manufacturing, Pressure Technology, Robotics, CleanEnergy and Bioengineering. The HTD should play a major role in the areasof pressure technology (heat exchangers, boilers etc.), clean energy (solar,storage etc.), manufacturing (laser sintering, joining technology etc.) andbioengineering (cryo-preservation, thermal therapies etc.). In addition, eightenabling technology areas have been defined including nanotechnology,sustainability, and materials, where heat transfer plays a prominent role.Clearly, the activities of the HTD will continue to be a centerpiece within thestrategic priorities of ASME.In 2016-2017, the HTD organized and supported a number of eventsincluding its signature events: the Summer Heat Transfer Conference(SHTC) in Washington D.C. and the International Mechanical EngineeringCongress and Exposition (IMECE) in Phoenix, Arizona. The 2016 SHTCwas co-located with the 2016 Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting(FEDSM) and the 2016 International Conference on Nano, Micro, and MiniChannels (ICNMM), and was a major event with 423 papers and 828presentations. Spread across four days (July 10-14), the event held at theHyatt Regency-Capitol Hill in the shadows of the U.S. Capitol, drew over1000 participants across the globe. The conference co-chairs were Prof.Sumanta Acharya (HTD) currently at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT)in Chicago, Dr. Yu-Tai Lee (FED) from the Naval Surface Warfare Center(NSWC) at Carderock, MD, and Prof. Ali Beskok (ICNMM) from SouthernMethodist University (SMU) in Dallas. The HTD had the largest number ofpresentations (nearly 360) and sessions with 83 sessions sponsored by theHTD and 13 sessions jointly sponsored by HTD-FED-ICNMM.

TransportIn the past year, the K-9 Committee has used its voice to provide input to the HTD and broader ASME leadership: The Committee has communicated to the HTD leadership our preference for

shorter conference abstract submission lead times and presentation-only options. We are pleased to note that the IMECE 2017 publication schedule includes a presentation-only option with a deadline 4 months later than the initial abstract deadline for presentations with an associated conference paper.

At the invitation of the HTD, K-9 also provided input for an ASME whitepaper on the future of nanotechnology. This whitepaper discusses future directions and opportunities for nanotechnology in a global context, challenges that need to be overcome to realize those opportunities, and potential directions of the NNI in the US. It was developed with the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office in Washington, DC, and is intended to help inform and educate the next U.S. administration about the importance of investing in nanotechnology research, development, and commercialization.

In accordance with the K-9 guidelines, the next round of Committee leadership will begin their 2 year terms on July 1, 2017. At that time, Ronggui Yang will step down as Chair, Chris Dames will advance from Vice-Chair to Chair, and Dong Liu will begin as Vice-Chair, as elected at the 2016 IMECE meeting.

ALS The Heat Transfer Division (HTD) is closely tied to three archival ASME

journals: the Journal of Heat Transfer (JHT), the Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications (JTSEA), and the Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Qualification (JVVUQ).

The Journal of Heat Transfer disseminates information of archival value on the fundamentals of heat and mass transfer science. Contributions may consist of results from fundamental research that apply to thermal energy or mass transfer in all fields of engineering and related disciplines.

The Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications focuses on the dissemination of information of archival value in applied thermal sciences and engineering.

The JHT and the JTSEA are complementary to one another.

The Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification disseminates original and applied research, illustrative examples, and high quality validation experimental data from leaders in the field of VVUQ as applied to: design of experiments; computational models; and analysis of experimental results.

The publication of these journals would not be possible without the support and contributions of the Heat Transfer Division members.

The journals of the Heat Transfer Division maintain their quality by having generous andknowledgeable colleagues participate in the review process. If you feel that you can contribute as areviewer, please inform the Technical Editors of the journals of your choice.

The ASME Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applicationsis indexed and abstracted in the Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, and Current Contents/Engineering Computing and Technology. The Journal has been indexed since January 2013 with Volume 5, No. 1. The 2015 Impact Factor for the Journal has been released in early June of 2016 and stands at 0.809. The 2016 Impact Factor has not been released yet but is expected within the next few weeks. The Impact Factor is a metric measuring the number of citations for papers published in the journal in two consecutive years divided by the number of papers published in the journal in the same two-year period. It is a form of citation index and should be understood as such. For this journal, the period corresponding to the 2015 data is from January 2013 to December 2014 while the 2016 data (when released) will be reporting on the period January 2014 through December 2015.

ALS The Journal relies heavily on a large database of peer reviewers who

are willing and able to maintain a high standard of publications that is known and expected of all ASME journals. This database continues to grow and is maintained by ASME through its online paper submission and review system. The latter has undergone a major face lift in early 2014 and many new features, whose purpose is to make the system more efficient, have been added. The IT staff of ASME continues to improve the functionality of the Journal Toolbox. There is also a cadre of ASME staff working behind the scenes to make my job and those of the Associate Editors, reviewers, and authors easy. I am indebted to all of them as I found them eager to assist me and all involved in a most professional and efficient way. Of course the Journal would not exist without the many hours of work put forth by the authors, reviewers, and Associate Editors which complement the many hours put forth by ASME staff. Like other ASME journals, JTSEA is no exception in that both volunteers and staff work harmoniously together to present an excellent product for researchers and engineers in the area of applied thermal sciences and engineering.

The Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification(JVVUQ) disseminates original and applied research, illustrativeexamples, and high quality validation experimental data as applied to:Design of experiments; Computational models; and Analysis ofexperimental results. The JVVUQ is cross cutting and serves anaudience of engineers and scientists.

We encourage authors of papers that describe discipline specificmodels and experiments to consider formulating their papers in twoparts, the discipline specific part to be published in their home journalsand the part describing the validation and uncertainty aspects of theirwork that would be published in the JVVUQ.

We believe that this approach would be especially relevant tomembers of the Heat Transfer Division whose papers frequentlyinvolve validation and uncertainty quantification.

I also encourage any division members who know of conferences thatare likely to involve presentations/papers that involve validation oruncertainty to email me (emery@uw.edu) with the conferenceinformation. I can then identify and contact prospective authors.
