PCTFE Workshop 2025
< Venue >
Ilima Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
445 Nohonani Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815
This workshop is designed to discuss how thermo-fluid sciences and technologies should evolve over the next few decades, up to 2050, and to identify the challenges we, as experts in the community, need to tackle. Experts who will shape the next generation are invited to present their advancements and the challenges they face.
The workshop will feature four sessions, each consisting of technical presentations followed by a general discussion. These sessions will address essential technologies required today and in the future. Examples of such technologies include: strategic methods for thermal design, energy-efficient and cost-effective heat recovery, system optimization involving a large number of thermal parameters, technologies enabling ultra-high vertical and lateral integration of electronics, solutions for ultra-high heat flux removal, thermal phenomena and control in biology, intelligent thermal materials, and more.
